In fact, `realpath()` uses `os.path.join()` to join the path segments, and as we all know/love, `os.path.join()` supports resetting the drive or root, thus discarding prior parts. As a result:\r\n\r\n```python\r\n\u003e\u003e\u003e os.path.realpath('c:/a:b')\r\n'a:b' # should be 'c:/a:b'\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/barneygale","@type":"Person","name":"barneygale"},"datePublished":"2023-03-06T18:05:21.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":10},"url":"https://github.com/102475/cpython/issues/102475"}| route-pattern | /_view_fragments/issues/show/:user_id/:repository/:id/issue_layout(.:format) |
