A minor issue, but the name property for realpath is actually 'abspath'.

Python 2.7.8 on Windows 6.1.7601 (7 sp1)

Also is true on python 3.4. Why does this matter anyway?

It's because realpath is defined as

    # realpath is a no-op on systems without islink support
    realpath = abspath

under Windows.
