I could spend some time on a small patch.

Here are the changes I would consider:
- netrc.authenticators() could return the first entry matching a given host (now it returns the last)
- it could also accept an extra parameter (with default=None), a login to select the right account/password for a given host
- it could also return a list of entries (tuples) matching the supplied host (now it always returns only one tuple), or a new method could do that

IMHO the last change would make the overall behaviour more consistent (BTW note the plural for "authenticators"), but it could also break existing apps.
