Thanks for the report.

ftplib.Netrc has been deprecated (via its doc string) since at least Python 
2.4, and is no longer documented in the library reference.  I've added an 
explicit DeprecationWarning in Python 3.4, and have altered this issue to call 
for its complete removal in Python 3.5.

I am not planning to fix the existing code, because IMO with deprecated code 
this old the chance of breaking something exceeds the chance that the bad code 
will do harm.
