Hi, while attempting to port pyftpdlib [1] to Python 3 I have noticed that ftplib differs from the previous 2.x version in that it uses latin-1 to encode everything it's sent over the FTP command channel, but by reading RFC-2640 [2] it seems that UTF-8 should be preferred instead. I'm far from being an expert of encodings, plus the RFC is quite hard to understand, so sorry in advance if I have misunderstood the whole thing. Just wanted to put this up to people more qualified than me.
