I'm not 100% sure whether this answers your problem, but I would ignore getting a special TLS module and just concentrate on the ftp side of the protocol. If your connection to your ftp server must be in TLS, you could modify you socket module similar to how I have using this diff (against 2.3.4) as inspiration.

I suspect then your program flow would become 1) FTP client contacts server, sends command requesting secure connection. 2) Server responds by sending some sort of request for SSL 3) SSL your socket to the FTP server 4) Continue on your merry FTP way. -adam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
