Thanks Tony.

I reported the problem to Gordon McMillan (via the bugTRacker on his 
site).  The fcntl.pyc re-appeared on one of the systems I use (Win32 XP) 
when I got the latest wxPython and ran the Installer on a simple 2-line 
python program.

The creation of fcntl.pyc is not easy to reproduce.  After noticing the 
file presence I was not able to reproduce the creation of the file 
again.  I'll try later tonight and will update this thread if i find 
something new.
