the docs for os.path don't mention the following facts which I think are important (in fact I assumed the facts would be the reverse):

os.path.realpath(l) works when l is a broken symbolic link, returning the path to the (missing) target

os.path.readlink(l) causes an error when l is a broken symbolic link.
