In Windows, realpath is currently an alias for abspath. Issue 14094 has a pending PR that implements realpath, but it's waiting on improved tests and final approval. I'm afraid it won't make it into 3.8. I suggest using the resolve() method of a pathlib.Path. For example: >>> os.system('subst W: C:\\Windows') 0 >>> pathlib.Path('W:\\').resolve() WindowsPath('C:/Windows')
