I don't understand it but I fixed it in r58378. =) When ftplib.FTP was converted over to Py3K it was given a default encoding of ASCII on all read data, but that doesn't work as the stuff on the other end could be latin1 (and it was). So I just changed the default encoding.

Cool. Though how do you know it was really latin1? Is there anything standardized about the encoding used by FTP?
