[issue43810] os.path.abspath returns invalid path (resolves symbolic link)

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun <eryksun at gmail.com> added the comment:

If realpath() resolves too much, you'll have to resolve manually via os.path.islink() and os.readlink(). If you need strict resolution, use pathlib.Path.resolve(). In strict mode it raises FileNotFoundError if a path component doesn't exist. Also, even in non-strict mode, it raises RuntimeError for a symlink loop.
