As @simonzack pointed out, you need to use Python for Cygwin.

You may have either installed from a Windows shell, you may not have installed Python for Cygwin, or you may have a Windows Python earlier in your path than the Cygwin one.

Do a which or type in your shell to determine what the path is to your Python installation that your calling. Make sure it's coming from a Cygwin path not a Windows installation.

The code you are using (or module you are calling) use fcntl. The incriminated module or line in your code that uses the fcntl module from the standard library will cause an error because this function is available only on Linux.

If you are able to locate the origin of the error, you will solve it either by using another function or module.
