If you want to put your own cover file in:

C:\Users\rubeus\AppData\Local\sigil-ebook\sigil\cover.xhtml

you could access it independently of the OS as follows:

import os
 
def run(bk):
    cover_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(bk._w.usrsupdir, 'cover.xhtml'))
    print(cover_path)
    # Windows: C:\Users\doitsu\AppData\Local\sigil-ebook\sigil\cover.xhtml
    # Linux: /home/doitsu/.local/share/sigil-ebook/sigil/cover.xhtml
    print(os.path.isfile(cover_path))

You could also load it from within the plugin folder:

import os
 
def run(bk):
    cover_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(bk._w.plugin_dir, 'PluginName', 'cover.xhtml'))
    print(cover_path)
    # returns: C:\Users\doitsu\AppData\Local\sigil-ebook\sigil\plugins\PluginName\cover.xhtml 
    # returns: /home/doitsu/.local/share/sigil-ebook/sigil/plugins/PluginName/cover.xhtml
    print(os.path.isfile(cover_path))

(Replace PluginName with the actual plugin name.)
