I think that last comment is right. In calls you can put it in the
natural (host, port, user, password) order using keywords.
Another possibility would be to overload 'host' to accept 'HOST:PORT'
or even 'USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT'.

To be honest, I really don't think that's so burdensome. In your own
code, you could just wrap it in your own class that DTRTs, using any
or all of the above extensions:
with MyFTP('example.com', 8042, 'me', 'apocryphum') as ftp:
# my actions
with MyFTP('example.com:8042', 'me', 'apocryphum') as ftp:
# my actions
with MyFTP('me:[email protected]:8042') as ftp:
# my actions
