If you want to keep using the requests library, there is a requests-ftp package that adds FTP capability to requests. I've used this library a little and it does work. The docs are full of warnings about code quality though. As of 0.2.0 the docs say "This library was cowboyed together in about 4 hours of total work, has no tests, and relies on a few ugly hacks".
