Another difference: os.path.isabs('\\') on cPython returns True while on
Jython returns False.
I guess there are other differences like these.

Note: on Windows '\\' is an alias for the current drive letter. For
example: if the current working directory is D:\Documents,
os.path.realpath('\\') returns "D:\\" (which is obviously absolute).
