The problem arrises in that this project is running over a 
network, and later I get problems with lockfiles and 
deleting files because although files may appear to 
be "closed" at the python level from the old stdio 
functions like fclose, they are indeed still open at the NT 
level and as a result cant be deleted.  This becomes a real 
problem with OCI files, and other things on NT.  It is not 
a problem on other os's like Solaris, Unix, linux, hpux, 
etc.., it is a WINnt problem
