Description:
 def get_absolute_path(cls, root: str, path: str) -> str: """Returns the absolute location of ``path`` relative to ``root``. ``root`` is the path configured for this `StaticFileHandler` (in most cases the ``static_path`` `Application` setting). This class method may be overridden in subclasses. By default it returns a filesystem path, but other strings may be used as long as they are unique and understood by the subclass's overridden `get_content`. .. versionadded:: 3.1 """
