.. function:: isabs(path)
Return ``True`` if *path* is an absolute pathname. On Unix, that means it
- begins with a slash, on Windows that it begins with a (back)slash after chopping
- off a potential drive letter.
+ begins with a slash, on Windows that it begins with two (back)slashes, or a
+ drive letter, colon, and (back)slash together.
.. versionchanged:: 3.6
Accepts a :term:`path-like object`.
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.13
+ On Windows, returns ``False`` if the given path starts with exactly one
+ (back)slash.
+
.. function:: isfile(path)
:c:func:`!posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np`.

+os.path
+-------

+* On Windows, :func:`os.path.isabs` no longer considers paths starting with
