title: Why doesn't os.path.join() work in this case?
body: <p>The below code will not join, when debugged the command does not store the whole path but just the last entry.</p>
  
  <pre><code>os.path.join('/home/build/test/sandboxes/', todaystr, '/new_sandbox/')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I test this it only stores the <code>/new_sandbox/</code> part of the code.</p>
