Hello:

Are there any comments regarding the missing of a module named FCNTL.py
?

It happens that I just built Zope 2.3 from source on a Python 1.5.2
installation and after compiling and building successfully just after
the "./start" command, Zope crases with a "no module named FCNTL" .

Lookign around found that this FCNTL.py has to be manually created (at
least on some Python installations)  with the  Python utility  h2py
which, in my machine is at
~[PythonBaseDir]/Python-1.5.2/Tools/scripts/h2py.py and giving the path
of  fcntl.h  as its argument so:

[PythonDir]/Python-1.5.2/Tools/scripts/h2py.py /usr/include/fcntl.h

I did this standing at the /usr/local/Zope directory where I just
untarred Zope.  The h2py script created the FCNTL.py right on the Zope
home directory, now it runs correctly.

My question is ¿has anyone seen this before? , It never happened to me
on Zope versions earlier than 2.3   and 2.3 betas )  Seems like there is
something missing either on the Python RPM install or on the Zope
install.....  Comments Suggestions ?

Just by the way, recommended  trustworthy ways to find out if the Python
installation has been compiled with threads enabled -besides knowing
that it is a plain vanilla RPM install and what that may or may not
imply - ...?

Thanks and regards.
