Bug0033

Description
pyclamav does not have a scanthis() method any more.

It seems that the clamav development team had gone crazy as they have removed the entire cl_scanbuff functionality - you can't seem to scan a simple buffer using libclamav any more - you must scan real files. This is a real PITA because it breaks all those applications which depend on such a critical part of the functionality I don't know what they were thinking. Especially a problem with pyflag using the virtual file systems, usually there are no real files for clamav to scan anyway they are all buffers.

Anyway, Virus scanning no longer works and you will get something like this at the console:

24525(Warning): Scanning Error: 'module' object has no attribute 'scanthis'

This bug is now closed with the introduction of better integration to clamav-daemon. We also remove the dependency on python-clamav.
