Kivy unable to read file alias image

[perceptualJonathan]

Software Versions

• Python: 3.12
• OS: MacOS 12.7.4
• Kivy: 2.3
• Kivy installation method: pip

Describe the bug If an image file has an alias associated with it, attempting to read the alias location is met with an error.

Expected behavior When loading an image, either by the direct location or by alias, the image loads properly and is rendered.

To Reproduce from kivy.uix.image import Image im = Image(source='/path/to/alias')
