ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fcntl'

I installed bpython quite easily no problem. However whenever i try to run it anything I get this error.

C:\Users\Newport_j\Downloads>bpython --V

The error say no module named 'fcntl'.

I am installing and trying to run bpython on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

When I google the error it seems to say there is no fix for this. It is a quirk on Windows 10 Pro, so move to Ubuntu where it will work.

Now it also implies on the internet that there is a work around. It seems to be vague on this so maybe the workaround is not universal but just applies in some cases.

So which is it? Is there a reliable workaround for Windows 10 or or not?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,
