Charles-François Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment:

Another problem with the POSIX realpath(3): it can fail with ENOENT if the 
target path doesn't exist, whereas the current Python implementation "succeeds" 
even if a component in the path doesn't exist.
Note the quotes around "succeeds", because I'm not sure whether this behavior 
is a good thing: the result is just plain wrong. I wonder whether we should 
break backwards compatibility on this particular point...
