title: bash equivalent of Python's os.path.normpath?
body: <p>What's the bash equivalent to <a href="http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/os.path.html#os.path.normpath" rel="noreferrer"><code>os.path.normpath</code></a>? Specifically I'm interested in removing the leading <code>./</code> given when executing <code>find</code>.</p>
