Instead of embedding ClamAV's library directly, it communicates with an already-running daemon process. The package has no runtime dependencies and was last released on 2017-08-27.\n\nThe library lets you scan files and streams for viruses by sending requests to the Clamd service and receiving scan results. Because it depends on an external daemon rather than Python dependencies, the main installation friction comes from needing to set up and maintain a separate ClamAV service, not from Python package conflicts.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned with no updates since 2017-08-27, and Python version support is unspecified. While it has no known vulnerabilities and no runtime dependencies, the lack of maintenance combined with high install friction and copyleft licensing makes it unsuitable for new projects. Consider maintained alternatives if antivirus scanning is critical."},"id":"pyclamd","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyclamd","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyclamd.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyclamd/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-08-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pyClamd","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"pyClamd is a python interface to Clamd (Clamav daemon)."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":293584,"position":7952,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.0"}
