> I'll see if `realpath` satisfies the test suite needs for path pie. I've tried replacing `readlink` with `realpath` and the tests still pass on Unix-like OSs, and also passes on Python 3.8 on Windows, but now fails on older Pythons on Windows. Is there a backport of the new realpath for older Pythons? I see there's [one here](https://github.com/jaraco/jaraco.windows/blob/1318d7afce2a9257f5bd7342783fdb796462d66b/jaraco/windows/filesystem/backports.py#L7). I wonder if that one can be used.
