How about:
      import logging
      ...

      def getpart(self, ftp_filename, rest, cnt, out_filename):
          with open(out_filename, 'wb') as outf:
              self.outf = outf
              self.cnt = cnt
              self.handle.voidcmd('TYPE I')
              conn = self.handle.transfercmd('RETR ' + ftp_filename,
                                             rest)
              data = conn.recv(8192)
              while data:
                  if self.getpart_callback(data):
                      try:
                          self.handle.abort()
                          break
                      except BaseException, why:
                          # "except BaseException as why:" if >= Py2.6
                          logging.error('%s: %s encountered' % (
                                        (why.__class__.__name__, why))
                          if not isinstance(why, Exception):
                              raise
                  data = conn.recv(8192)
          self.handle.voidresp()
          conn.close()
