 Hi all.
 os.path.realpath() documentation states that it returns a 'canonical' 
path. Does that infer that it returns an absolute path?
 I have not found seen any implementation that does not return an 
absolute path, but can this be counted on? Or should we use 
os.path.abspath(os.path.realpath(x)) when we want to convert x to its 
full/canonical name?
 Best regards,
 Jurko Gospodnetić
