Yes.  The file is old though:

C:\Python23\Lib>ls -l [fF]*.py
-rwxrwxrwa   1 Administrators  None      418 May  9  2001 FCNTL.py
-rwxrwxrwa   1 Administrators  None    10173 Sep  2 07:47 filecmp.py

-rwxrwxrwa   1 Administrators  None    27589 Jun  3  2002 ftplib.py

I wonder if FCNTL.py is a valid file.  Here is what it contains:

C:\Python23\Lib>cat FCNTL.py
cat FCNTL.py
"""Backward-compatibility version of FCNTL; export constants exported by
fcntl, and issue a deprecation warning.
"""

import warnings
warnings.warn("the FCNTL module is deprecated; please use fcntl",
               DeprecationWarning)


# Export the constants known to the fcntl module:
from fcntl import *

# and *only* the constants:
__all__ = [s for s in dir() if s[0] in "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"]

C:\Python23\Lib>

BTW,  I solved the problem by deleting the fcntl.pyc.  See my other post 
below.

Thanks for your help!
