Error reading file with ~ in file name

The following snippet raised an OSError

OSError: Unable to open file (unable to open file: name = '~/PATH/TO/posterior_samples.h5', errno = 2, error message = 'No such file or directory', flags = 0, o_flags = 0)

This worked, so I guess the issue that it's unable to unpack the ~/ which is strange. Maybe wrapping the read file in an os.abspath will resolve this?

from pesummary.gw.read import read
data = read("/home/colm.talbot/PATH/TO/posterior_samples.h5")
