Forwarding now to the list.

lambda args: whatever

is the same as:

def anonymous_function(args):
     return whatever

So, the above example could be written as:

def writeline(line):
     fileObj.write('%s\n' % line)
[...]
ftp.retrlines('RETR ' + fl, writeline)

(the write method has no return value, so we omit the return statement)
