download file from ftp server using Python

I am trying to download csv files from ftp server but I receive these error. I don't know where I am going wrong.

#!/usr/bin/python

import ftplib


ftp = ftplib.FTP('192.168.0.00', 'bingo', 'word')
files = ftp.dir('/')
ftp.cwd("/")
filematch = '*.csv'
target_dir = '/home/toor/ringolist'
import os

for filename in ftp.nlst(filematch):
    target_file_name = os.path.join(target_dir,os.path.basename(filename))
    with open(target_file_name,'wb') as fhandle:
            ftp.retrbinary('RETR %s' %filename, fhandle.write))

errors:


sudo ./ftp_ringo.py
: not found.py: 1: ./ftp_ringo.py:
: not found.py: 3: ./ftp_ringo.py:
./ftp_ringo.py: 4: ./ftp_ringo.py: import: not found
: not found.py: 5: ./ftp_ringo.py:

This is my updated it works fine in downloading the file :

#!/usr/bin/python

import ftplib

ftp = ftplib.FTP('192.168.0.00', 'bingo', 'word')
files = ftp.dir('/')
ftp.cwd("/")
filematch = '*.csv'
target_dir = '/home/toor/ringolist'
import os

for filename in ftp.nlst(filematch):
    target_file_name = os.path.join(target_dir,os.path.basename(filename))
    with open(target_file_name,'wb') as fhandle:
            ftp.retrbinary('RETR %s' %filename, fhandle.write)


        # deletes the files from the FTP after transfer
            ftp.delete(os.path.basename(filename))

It's not the problem with the code, the problem's in the way you're trying to call it. Try sudo python code.py or do which python and use the result string instead of /usr/bin/python in your script.
