As written in the doc retrlines has an optional parameter (a callback function)
called on each line retrieved, so you can do something like this:
from ftplib import FTP
def writeline(data):
fd.write(data + "\n")
f = FTP('ftp.kernel.org')
f.login()
f.cwd('/pub/linux/kernel')
fd = open('README', 'wt')
f.retrlines('RETR README', writeline)
fd.close()
f.quit()
