$ tf.compat.path_to_str('C:\XYZ\tensorflow\./.././tensorflow')
'C:\XYZ\tensorflow\./.././tensorflow' # Windows OS
$ tf.compat.path_to_str(Path('C:\XYZ\tensorflow\./.././tensorflow'))
'C:\XYZ\tensorflow\..\tensorflow' # Windows OS
$ tf.compat.path_to_str(Path('./corpus'))
'corpus' # Linux OS
$ tf.compat.path_to_str('./.././Corpus')
'./.././Corpus' # Linux OS
$ tf.compat.path_to_str(Path('./.././Corpus'))
'../Corpus' # Linux OS
$ tf.compat.path_to_str(Path('./..////../'))
