:might be useful?
:Note from my other post: Microsoft example code for _locking uses
:_sopen rather than fopen (or _open). The s in _sopen is for shared
:file access, so I wonder if python's builtin open is affected, since
:it uses fopen.

:The ntposixfile.py seems to go to __builtin__.open() as well, though,
:so if _sopen does something different and required, the same problem
:should appear. Hard to believe there wouldn't be more noise on google
:about it though, if _locking didn't work with fopen, unless people
:just quietly give up and go on to the win32 api...

I did download and try that code a couple of days ago. (Note that it
says, it hasn't really been tested thoroughly.)

Anyhow, when I tried to run the master/slave __main__ code in two
separate DOS console windows to test it, I got the "Permission denied"
errors using that module.
