At the command line type launch the Python interpretor:
python
# in the python interpretor:
import os
dir(os)
Look in this lengthy list for fsync.
Tell us what version of Python you are using, and you might want to
cut/past the output of the "dir(os)" command.
On my systems, "help(os.fsync)" returns:
Help on built-in function fsync:
fsync(...)
fsync(fildes) -> None
force write of file with filedescriptor to disk.
(END)
Note: you have to "import os" before you can look at its built-in
functions
This is looking like a problem with the Python install.
