import pathlib
import os
def get_root():
root = pathlib.PurePath(
input("What's the full path where you'd like the project? ")
)
if not root.is_absolute():
return get_root()
abs_root = os.getcwd()
abs_root += root
return abs_root

if not root.is_absolute():
then you should return an absolute path. Otherwise return root.

7,786 PointsQuestion for the task is:
I'd like you to change how get_root works. I still want to ask for a path but if the path is relative, change it into an absolute path. You can assume that the path is relative from the current working directory. The function should always return an absolute path.
