FCNTL module deprecation warning
 

(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:
>>> import fcntl
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.

capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

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