[Python] Force "os" or "posixpath" to use forward slashes?

To get paths that use forward slash as a path separator, Google AI says to use the posixpath module instead of the os module. However, I find that it still uses backslashes:

>>> import os
>>> os.path.abspath('LoadJSON.py')
'C:\\cygwin64\\home\\User.Name\\prj\\SomeProject\\Some-Subfolder\\LoadJSON.py'

>>> import posixpath as pp
>>> pp.abspath('LoadJSON.py')
'C:\\cygwin64\\home\\User.Name\\prj\\SomeProject\\Some-Subfolder/LoadJSON.py'


If possible, I would like to avoid littering my code with string replacements. Is it possible to get paths that use forward slashe by default?

I am using:

• Spyder version: 6.0.5 (conda)
• Python version: 3.9.18 64-bit
• Qt version: 5.15.2
• PyQt5 version: 5.15.10
• Operating System: Windows-10-10.0.26100-SP0
