I seem to recall that there was some problem with case-insensitive file
systems. On OS X os.path.realpath doesn't normalize case (some OS X file
systems are case sensitive but the usual one is not):
>>> os.path.realpath
<function realpath at 0x474b0>
>>> r=_
>>> r('/system/library/fonts/LucidaGrande.dfont')
'/system/library/fonts/LucidaGrande.dfont'
>>> r('/System/Library/Fonts/LucidaGrande.dfont')
'/System/Library/Fonts/LucidaGrande.dfont'
>>> s=os.stat
>>> s('/system/library/fonts/LucidaGrande.dfont')
(33188, 10369L, 234881026L, 1, 0, 0, 2295501L, 1206468480, 1191377895,
1194639447)
>>> s('/System/Library/Fonts/LucidaGrande.dfont')
(33188, 10369L, 234881026L, 1, 0, 0, 2295501L, 1206468480, 1191377895,
1194639447)
Stat is a clever way of finding the "real identity" of the file on
Unix-like systems. On Windows we clearly need something else...
