Oh well, so you can see if the patch works correctly on all paths :)

Unfortunately I'm not God, so I cannot change the "code" of the current
implementation of os.path.realpath (raising an OSError exception)
without breaking any existing code. 
So, consider using the current implementation of os.path.realpath ;)
If you experience other strange behaviors, then open a new bug report.

Bye!
