[New-bugs-announce] [issue12801] C realpath not used by os.path.realpath

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

We have our own quirky implementation of C realpath() in posixpath.py.
It would probably be simpler, safer and more efficient to simply call the POSIX function instead (but it most be exposed somewhere, by posixmodule.c I suppose).
