retrieve data using FTP in Python

[Jaime Wyant]

Try this from the interpreter:

import ftplib
help(ftplib)

The module is pretty easy to use.  If you'll be doing anything with
`http', then visit urllib2:

import urllib2
help(urllib2)

I think urllib2 will take `ftp' urls:
ftp://user:pass@somewhere.com/dir/file_to_get
