STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:
Function result type should be the same of the connection is in text
mode or binary mode. As far as I remember, the text mode converts the
newline byte sequence, not the charset. A text file could be stored as
latin-1, utf-8, koi-8 or anything else. Am I wrong?
ftplib should use byte strings (as I did for POP3, IMAP4 or some other
libraries) because the FTP protocol doesn't send the charset.
