I don't really understand your algorithm. Why do you need a stack? It should be simply iterative: - if the symlink is relative, prepend the symlink target to the rest - if the symlink is absolute, discard the current path and prepend the symlink target to the rest Here is how pathlib does it: https://bitbucket.org/pitrou/pathlib/src/67a2524b057f1af5b3cba26370b1353e73cdda16/pathlib.py?at=default#cl-227
