- 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.
