Henk-Jaap Wagenaar <wagenaarhenkj...@gmail.com> added the comment: Ignoring testing code, there is minimal use of os.path.realpath in the stdlib (https://github.com/python/cpython/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22os.path.realpath%22&type=):
- Lib/platform.py: used before opening a file (works around a cygwin bug) - Lib/unittest/loader.py: used to compare two paths for equality - Lib/pkgutil.py: as outlined in this issue - Lib/pydoc.py: used to determine the directory - Lib/inspect.py: path and realpath added to caching dictionary So the question that remains is whether __import__ does this on the hood? I get not due to the difference noted in the OP betweein importing and using pkgutil. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32188> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
