ftputil 3.2 is now available from http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download .
Changes since version 3.1 ------------------------- - For some platforms (notably Windows) modification datetimes before the epoch would cause an `OverflowError` [1]. Other platforms could return negative values. Since the Python documentation for the `time` module [2] points out that values before the epoch might cause problems, ftputil now sets the float value for such datetimes to 0.0. In theory, this might cause backward compatibility problems, but it's very unlikely since pre-epoch timestamps in directory listings should be very rare. - On some platforms, the `time.mktime` implementation could behave strange and accept invalid date/time values. For example, a day value of 32 would be accepted and implicitly cause a "wrap" to the next month. Such invalid values now result in a `ParserError`. - Make error handling more robust where the underlying FTP session factory (for example, `ftplib.FTP`) uses byte strings for exception messages. [3] - Improved error handling for directory listings. As just one example, previously a non-integer value for a day would unintentionally cause a `ValueError`. Now this causes a `ParserError`. - Extracted socket file adapter module [4] so that it can be used by other projects. Note that ftputil 3.0 broke backward compatibility with ftputil 2.8 and before. The differences are described here: http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/wiki/WhatsNewInFtputil3.0 What is ftputil? ---------------- ftputil is a high-level FTP client library for the Python programming language. ftputil implements a virtual file system for accessing FTP servers, that is, it can generate file-like objects for remote files. The library supports many functions similar to those in the os, os.path and shutil modules. ftputil has convenience functions for conditional uploads and downloads, and handles FTP clients and servers in different timezones.
