Now I have a _ftpparse.so which exposes a single function 'parse'. However both the module and the function do not have any docstring, the underscore makes me believe that there should be a ftpparse.py file which is missing, and the README says for a usage example, see the sanity.py test script but there is not such a script in the distribution :-( Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

looks like a distutils glitch... try this one:

Re: users of pycurl here?
Yes, it works fine, thanks (still I am a bit surprised there is not ftpparse.py but only an _ftpparse.so). Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
users of pycurl here?
I am having a hard time in finding out how to retrieve information about the *size* of files I want to download from an FTP site. Should I send a QUOTE SIZE command to the ftp server or is there an easier way? TIA, Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
RE: users of pycurl here?
How about doing an 'ls -la' once you have connected to the server? That returns a listing of the files with the size in bytes. -Original Message- From: Michele Simionato I am having a hard time in finding out how to retrieve information about the *size* of files I want to download from an FTP site.

Should I send a QUOTE SIZE command to the ftp server or is there an easier way? SIZE isn't a standard FTP command, so that only works for some servers. if you want your code to work for a wider range of servers, you need to parse the output from the LIST command: http://cr.yp.to/ftp/list.html here's a robust parser for various LIST output formats: http://cr.yp.to/ftpparse.html (google for ftpparse to find python bindings for that module) /F -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
