To test, install python-pyclamd and clamav-daemon:
$ sudo aptitude install python-pyclamd clamav-daemon
Update the virus definition database (to make sure you have one):
$ sudo -u clamav freshclam
Then do anything that would make it raise an exception:
$ python
>>> import pyclamd
>>> pyclamd.init_unix_socket("/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl")
>>> pyclamd.scan_file("file_that_doesnt_exist")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyclamd.py", line 350, in scan_file
raise ScanError(reason)
pyclamd.ScanError: lstat() failed: No such file or directory.
The above output is correct (raising a ScanError). On 1.1, you get this
instead:
>>> import pyclamd
>>> pyclamd.init_unix_socket("/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl")
>>> pyclamd.scan_file("file_that_doesnt_exist")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyclamd.py", line 286, in scan_file
raise ScanError, virusname
TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException,
