FCNTL module deprecation warning

[Meyer, Tony]

(I did try to google for an answer to this, but couldn't find anything,
although plenty of instances of the warning).

I don't understand this warning:C:\Program Files\Python23\lib\fcntl.py:7: DeprecationWarning: the FCNTL
module is deprecated; please use fcntl
DeprecationWarning)
It seems to be saying that I shouldn't use "import FCNTL" (which gives
the same warning), but "import fcntl", but that's what I _am_ doing.

(I don't actually even import fnctl, but httplib does, and causes this
all over the place.

Any light shedding would be appreciated.

Seems you're using windoze.

Windoze has a case insensitive filesystem, and thus it can't see the
difference between FCNTL and fcntl. Try removing the depricated FCNTL
from your harddisk, or rename it to FCNTL-dep.py.

And check for any .pyc files that might be involved, like FCNTL.pyc,
since they might be confusing things even more...
