This is Cat's Eye Technologies' `realpath`, a simple command-line tool that

resolves relative file paths to absolute ones.  It:

*   is written in Python 3 (tested with 3.8.10)

*   is small and has no dependencies besides Python

*   is in the public domain (see `UNLICENSE`)

*   is trivial

*   is not feature-compatible with GNU realpath

*   has no build/install system; either copy it to somewhere on your

    search path, or alter your search path to include the `script` directory

    in this repo, or use some system that solves this problem, like

    [shelf](http://catseye.tc/node/shelf).

*   [realpath_1](http://leapfrog.freeshell.org/Projects/real_path.shtml) —

    GPL'ed, and contains an unbuildable C version (nested comments) and an

    incompatible Perl version of realpath.

*   [dtjm/realpath](https://github.com/dtjm/realpath) — claims to be 

    "public domain" but is restricted to "non-profit use", which in my

    IANAL opinion is a contradiction in terms.
