pathlib — a Better Way to Work with Paths in Python | by Dor Zvulun | Medium
July 19, 2023 - If you look closely at the previous example, you see that we didn’t get a Path object, but PosixPath . The Path class let us keep our code platform-independent, meaning it will work on both Windows and Unix-based platforms. In a Unix-based platform such as Ubuntu and MacOS the Path class returns a PosixPath object, while on Windows it returns WindowsPath .

Python Path – How to Use the Pathlib Module with Examples
May 10, 2022 - Since the concrete path is the subclass of the pure path, you can do everything with concrete paths using the PurePath() properties. This means that we can use, for example, the .with_suffix property to add a suffix to a concrete path: In [*]: p = pathlib.Path('/src/goo/scripts/main') p.with_suffix('.py') Out[*]: PosixPath('/src/goo/scripts/main.py')

You can get the Windows NT format path using the os.path module, and you can isolate the drive by using the os.path.splitdrive function. This only gets you halfway there; you still have to lop off the posix base /c/ and reconstruct the path.

I've used posixpath to deal with the posix structure returned in mingw.

So something like:

import os
import posixpath

path_to_exe = str(os.system('which clang-format'))
# > '/c/Program Files/clang-format'

drive = os.path.splitdrive(os.path.abspath('.'))[0]
# > 'C:'

# break down the posix path storing it in reverse order
root, ext = posixpath.split(path_to_exe)

rev_path = []
rev_path.append(ext)

while (root != '/c'):
    root, ext = posixpath.split(root)
    rev_path.append(ext)
    
# construct the forward path
path = os.path.join(drive, os.sep)
rev_path.reverse()

for p in rev_path:
    path = os.path.join(path, p)

# path = "C:\\Program Files\\clang-format"

It's pretty gross, but should get you there.

Note that this assumes you're running the Python code on the same drive as your clang-format executable.
