[Tutor] FTP from mainframe

[Steve Bricker]

  BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;
}This is my first attempt to FTP a file from a mainframe.  The code:
 import ftplib
session = ftplib.FTP('company.lan.com','userid','passwd')
myfile = open('PC.filename','w')
session.retrlines("RETR 'mainframe.filename'", myfile)
myfile.close()
session.quit()
 The resulting error is:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ftp_from_mf.py", line 5, in 
    session.retrlines("RETR 'mainframe.filename'", myfile)
  File "c:python26libftplib.py", line 428, in retrlines
    callback(line)
TypeError: 'file' object is not callable

 Not sure what I'm missing.
