@@ -97,6 +97,13 @@ Core language, builtins, and interpreter Standard library +- The ftplib module now defaults to passive mode, which is deemed a + more useful default given that clients are often inside firewalls + these days. Note that this could break if ftplib is used to connect + to a *server* that is inside a firewall, from outside; this is + expected to be a very rare situation. To fix that, you can call + ftp.set_pasv(0). + - The module site now treats .pth files not only for path configuration, but also supports extensions to the initialization code: Lines starting with import are executed. |
