FCNTL module deprecation warning

[Meyer, Tony]

Thanks to those that answered the question; I understand the problem
now.  (it's a WinXP system).

My question is then why the 2.3b2 Windows binary bothers installing the
FCNTL.py file.  fnctl isn't available on Windows anyway (going by the
docs and that there isn't a fnctl.py file installed).

Shouldn't the correct behaviour be to raise an ImportError if a windows
user tries to import fcntl or FCNTL?  Just like trying to "import mac"
or "import posix"?

The way it is just causes useless warnings to Windows users -
particularly users of httplib :)
