There doesn't seem to be any helper in pathlib to expand a relative path to an absolute path without resolving symlinks. For example, if I want to convert pathlib.Path('some/path') to pathlib.Path('/full/path/to/some/path') where some/path is a symlink, my best option seems to be pathlib.Path(os.path.abspath(str(pathlib.Path('some/path'))))

There doesn't seem to be any helper in pathlib to expand a relative path to an absolute path *without* resolving symlinks.

For example, if I want to convert
  pathlib.Path('some/path')
to
  pathlib.Path('/full/path/to/some/path')
where some/path is a symlink, my best option seems to be
  pathlib.Path(os.path.abspath(str(pathlib.Path('some/path'))))
