[issue43968] os.path.realpath() unexpected breaking change: resolves subst'd paths to real paths

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

I think Eryk's point is that the behaviour is correct, and it's unfortunate that certain tools use realpath() when they don't actually mean it (I've been bitten by this too with pytest).

Presumably you want to replace realpath with abspath?
