In Windows, realpath is currently an alias for abspath. Issue 14094 has a pending PR that implements realpath, but it's waiting on improved tests and final approval. I'm afraid it won't make it into 3.8.

I suggest using the resolve() method of a pathlib.Path. For example:

    >>> os.system('subst W: C:\\Windows')
    0
    >>> pathlib.Path('W:\\').resolve()
    WindowsPath('C:/Windows')
