ftputil. Python’s built-in ftplib is ridiculously low level, requiring you to send RETR commands and even assemble downloaded chunks yourself using a callback. ftputil looks like a really solid high-level interface to that module with file-like objects and plenty of convenient methods.

I just wanted to thank you for your work on Django's auto-escaping. I work in PHP, but a solid templating system with supported auto-escaping is quite the temptation. (The Smarty guys are hostile to it, or they were when the project was active.)
Having just fought with ftplib and thought "this can't be it", I'm glad to see ftputil. I'm new to the Python community: what's next? Does fptutil become part of 2.6? 2.7? Only if X happens?
