in case it helps here is a very basic example:
import MySQLdb, glob, os, re, shutil
from ftplib import FTP
a=file_to_fetch
ftp=FTP('ftp_server')
ftp.login('user_name','password')
try:
aa=ftp.nlst(a)
b='/home/a'
bb=os.path.basename(aa[0])
e=os.path.basename(b)
c=open(b, 'wb')
ftp.retrbinary('RETR '+aa[0], c.write)
c.close()
well u just copied some pieces of my own code to maybe help you get started
with ftp as you maybe don't know that you have to open a file for writing &
then write into it the stream from ftp retrieve cmd.
