I have opened an FTP connection, and use the following to download a logfile:
f = open('c:///web.log','w')
ftp.retrlines('RETR ex050202.log', f.write)
I have also tried with f.writelines.
It works, but not as well as I would like. All the \n's are removed. How
can I download an exact copy, so that each line actually ends up being on
a separate line?
Define your own callback that inserts the missing \n:
f = open('c:///web.log','w')
def cb(line):
f.write(line)
f.write('\n')
ftp.retrlines('RETR ex050202.log', cb)
Note that this callback relies on f being accessible as a global.
