Description
Hello,
I am not sure if this is supported but trying to import prompt-toolkit (1.0.15) on Windows w/IronPython, and get Unhandled Exception: IronPython.Runtime.Exceptions.ImportException: No module named fcntl
sys.path.append(r"C:\Python27\Lib")
sys.path.append(r"C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages")
from prompt_toolkit import prompt
How does such import pick up fcntl on Windows, and is there a way to override/explicitly force the module to be aware of Windows platform so it can load appropriate dependencies?
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the prompt_toolkit 1.0.15 import on Windows with IronPython, using the reported sys.path entries. Trace which import requests fcntl and compare the platform-specific dependency handling; done means establishing whether IronPython is supported and documenting or implementing the appropriate Windows behavior.
