[ftputil] [ANN] ftputil 2.4.2 beta 2 released

[Stefan Schwarzer]

ftputil 2.4.2b2 is now available from
http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download .

Changes since version 2.4.2b
----------------------------

Albrecht Mühlenschulte found that ftputil's installation
script didn't support the `--home` option (ticket #41) and
helped testing a fix.

A side effect of the fix is that the documentation files
(ftputil.txt, README.txt and their HTML variants) are no
longer installed in the same directory as the Python
modules. Instead, they're placed in a `doc` directory
relative to a directory determined by Distutils. (On my
Linux system, the documentation files are thus installed in
/usr/local/doc if no `--home` option is supplied.) Please
tell me if you see a problem with this new behavior. In that
case, suggestions for alternative approaches are welcome.

What is ftputil?
----------------

ftputil is a high-level FTP client library for the Python
programming language. ftputil implements a virtual file
system for accessing FTP servers, that is, it can generate
file-like objects for remote files. The library supports
many functions similar to those in the os, os.path and
shutil modules. ftputil has convenience functions for
conditional uploads and downloads, and handles FTP clients
and servers in different timezones.
