This is very easy to fix: change the two "makefile('r')" calls in
ftplib.py to "makefile('rb')". <shameless-plug>It took me about 20
seconds to find out what the problem was using twit</shameless-plug> :-)

The strange thing is that I made this same fix a long time ago. It
must have gotten lost somewhere along the way...
