easy for 2.2 new-style classes, but trickier for classic classes, and
different approaches are needed "depending". The function will allow
later code to treat all flavors of classes uniformly.

SF patch #461781 by Chris Lawrence: os.path.realpath - Resolve symlinks:
...
Once upon a time, I put together a little function
that tries to find the canonical filename for a given
pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to
turning it into a proper patch with documentation.
On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as
that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are
encountered in the path.
Example:
>>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
'/usr/X11R6/bin/X'

SF patch #461413 (Gerhard Häring): Add STARTTLS feature to smtplib
...
This patch adds the features from RFC 2487 (Secure SMTP
over TLS) to the smtplib module:
- A starttls() function
- Wrapper classes that simulate enough of sockets and
files for smtplib, but really wrap a SSLObject
- reset the list of known SMTP extensions at each call
of ehlo(). This should have been the case anyway.
