[Newby] Problem with compilation.

Hi folks!

Can't compile my file due to some problems with crypt module.
My platform is WinXP:
First I launch my Python Shell,
Than I open the *.py file,
Next I press F5 to 'run module'
The message is: "ImportError: No module named crypt"

Few lines of code for example:

....
import posix
import posixpath
from crypt import *

startRecord = 0
inRecord = 1
....

Thanks for help.

The Python modules documentation indicates crypt is only available on Unix
platforms.

There is a work-alike cross-platform "fcrypt.py" module which can be
used to replace crypt on non-unix platforms. Google to find it.

HTH,
