I'm trying to extract subpath from a list of paths using python:
path structure looks like this:
path= '/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/image.png'
This is what I'm looking for:
'f/g/h/image.png'

The relative_to method on Path works like this. You can use str to turn the result into a string, if you prefer.
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> path = Path('/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/image.png')
>>> path.relative_to('/a/b/c/d/e')
PosixPath('f/g/h/image.png')
>>> str(_)
'f/g/h/image.png'

This will do the trick:
path= '/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/image.png'
cutoff= 6
'/'.join(path.split('/')[cutoff:])
Output:
'f/g/h/image.png'
