Weird ftplib problem

[noahspurrier at my-deja.com]

I tested this and it works on Solaris 2.6 with Python 1.6
and on Windows 2000 with Python 2.0. Try your script on another
system and see what happens.

What version of Windows are you using? What version of Python?
I assume version 1.52 or earlier because I can find the lines of
source that your error mentions in lib/ftplib.py. This may also
be a configuration problem. I assume that 'python' is
in your path, yes? That is the only environment variable that
you need for the standard libraries. ... I rarely have
configuration problems with Python.

Yours,
Noah Spurrier
