"storbinary" works with anything that has a "read" method that takes a 
buffer size, so you can wrap the source stream in something like:

##
# File wrapper that reads no more than 'bytes' data from a stream. Sets
# the 'eof' attribute to true if the stream ends.

class FileWrapper:
     def __init__(self, fp, bytes):
        self.fp = fp
        self.bytes = bytes
         self.eof = False
     def read(self, bufsize):
        if self.bytes <= 0:
            return ""
        data = self.fp.read(min(bufsize, self.bytes))
         if not data:
             self.eof = True
        self.bytes -= len(data)
        return data

source = open(...)

while 1:
     cmd = "STOR " + generate_file_name()
     f = FileWrapper(source, 1000000)
     ftp.storbinary(cmd, f)
     if f.eof:
         break
