reading the documentation might help, somewhat:
retrlines( command[, callback])
Retrieve a file or directory listing in ASCII transfer mode. command should
be an appropriate "RETR" command (see retrbinary()) or a "LIST" command
(usually just the string 'LIST'). The callback function is called for each
line,
with the trailing CRLF stripped.
so if you want line endings, just use a callback that adds line endings:
def mycallback(line):
print line
ftp.retrlines("RETR ...", mycallback)
or, perhaps:
file = open("output.txt", "w")
def mycallback(line):
# note: file is a global variable
file.write(line)
file.write("\n")
ftp.retrlines(...)
(since the file is opened in text mode, the write method will automatically
convert "\n" to "\r\n" on windows).
