Python's os.path.realpath, when used with a substed drive on the Windows platform, don't resolve the substed path to the *real* path.
For example creating a substed drive like this:
subst z: C:\Users\Public\Desktop
and checking for the real path in python like this:
import os
myPath = "S:\\"
print("Real path of: " + myPath + " is: " + os.path.realpath(myPath) )
prints
Real path of: S:\ is: S:\
In the docs for the [subst][1] command, a substed drive is referred to as a *virtual* drive. Virtual, suggesting something being "not real", indicates that the Python *realpath* command is not working properly on Windows.
