syntax-error with new Python 2.1 and pyFTPd.py and pyFTPdrop.py

[Georg Lohrer]

Hello,

I've just compiled and run the new python 2.1 version successfully.
But using the pyFTPd.py and pyFTPdrop.py scripts the same syntax-error
will be raised in socket.py:

 import sys, socket, string, os, os.path, time, fnmatch, types
   File "/home/gelo/lib/python2.1/socket.py", line 251
       total += len(line)    
              ^
I've tried several ways to cast out the failure, but it doesn't want
to go. So, has anybody at moment have any experiences with this fault?
Or does anybody know a way to eliminate it?

Thanks in advance,
Georg
