[PYTHONMAC-SIG] Mac ftplib problems

[jeffrey P. Shell]

i've experienced a lot of problems with 'ftplib' on MacPython..  i had 
these errors both in 1.3.3 and 1.4b3.  Every command i execute just 
sends back a big traceback.  It happens both on trying to get in 
anonymous (since there's no environment variables that i know of to sub 
in for the 'user@hostname' password, i thought that might be raising an 
error), but even when trying to get into my local ISP, i get odd errors 
and can't move around:

> ftp.login('jshell','[password]')
> Traceback (innermost last):
>   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
>   File "Hard Disk:Desktop Folder:Documents:jeff's Ÿ:Python 1.4b3 CFM68K:Lib:ftplib.py", line 296, in login
>     resp = self.sendcmd('USER ' + user)
>   File "Hard Disk:Desktop Folder:Documents:jeff's Ÿ:Python 1.4b3 CFM68K:Lib:ftplib.py", line 222, in sendcmd
>     return self.getresp()
>   File "Hard Disk:Desktop Folder:Documents:jeff's Ÿ:Python 1.4b3 CFM68K:Lib:ftplib.py", line 198, in getresp
>     raise error_proto, resp
> 331 Password required for jshell.

this works just fine on the sunOS.
