I have a netrc file with two entries for the same host. The netrc module only returns the last entry.

$ cat > .netrc
machine host.com
        login foo
        password foo

machine host.com
        login bar
        password bar

$ python -c 'import netrc; print netrc.netrc()'
machine host.com
        login 'bar'
        password 'bar'

My Linux ftp clients (ftp, lftp) always use the first entry for a given host. Also lftp can use the password from the proper entry if I supply the host and login.

With the netrc module in Python 2.6.6 (as tested on Debian Squeeze), I can only retrieve the last entry.
