Unless I've been sleep-hacking through the last couple of years, I think
you mean 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 :)

What version of Python are you using?  What platform?  Certainly Python
2.1 and beyond on my various RH versions has os.fsync().  Try this:

% python
Python 2.1.3 (#1, Sep 25 2002, 16:55:12) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-112)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.fsync
<built-in function fsync>

What do you get?
