I do see now the references to `realpath` in the docs... and I think that satisfies the need I described above. It doesn't supply the `f`, but it provides a mechanism to resolve the ultimate file. As you say, there's still no regular solution for resolving intermediate links in a chain of symlinks with user-friendly names, but it seems like a much less severe limitation (platform variation). I'll see if `realpath` satisfies the test suite needs for path pie. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40654> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
