Is there a single file-locking mechanism that will work on NT and Unix? The
fcntl module doesn't seem to be in the NT distribution.

Thanks,

I took a stab at this, extending posixfile to work for NT as well as Unix.
My module seems to work, but I have never tested it thoroughly.

ntposixfile.py at http://starship.python.net/~jjkunce/
