How to calculate the relative path between two absolute paths using the path package?

To calculate the relative path between two absolute paths using the path package in Python, you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the path module from the pathlib package:
from pathlib import Path
  1. Create Path objects with the two absolute paths:
path1 = Path('/path/to/absolute_dir1') path2 = Path('/path/to/absolute_dir2')
  1. Use the relative_to method of the Path object to calculate the relative path:
relative_path = path2.relative_to(path1)
  1. Print or use the relative_path as required:
print(relative_path)

Keep in mind that the relative_to method will only work if the second path is located inside the first path. Otherwise, it will raise a ValueError.
