The page you indicate says "Availability: Unix", and indeed
trying:

import fcntl

on Windows gives an ImportError: No module named fcntl


As far as I know, nobody's written a fcntl-emulator for
Windows -- the functionality is clearly available (a bit
in msvcrt, all of it in win32all, or maybe also through
ctypes) but the interfaces are, alas, quite different.
