Try urllib or urllib2; these are included with python. urllib2 is newer 
but only works for anonymous ftp. Caveat: I ran into trouble doing 
multiple simultaneous ftp using urllib. I have not used urllib2.

Another possibility is Twisted Framework. It has a bit of a learning 
curve but is well regarded. If you plan to do a lot with networking you 
should definitely check it out.
