What are you using for documentation? In my "Global Module Index" it 
says (in the module list):
...
fcntl (Unix)
...
posixfile (Unix)
...

I think you can take this as an indication without reading the source 
that the Python modules are tied pretty closely to the Unix 
functionality they provide, and therefore won;t be available on Windows 
any time soon.
