Bug#725170: ITP: python-clamd -- clamd is a portable Python module to use the ClamAV anti-virus engine on Windows, Linux, MacOSX and other platforms. It requires a running instance of the clamd daemon.

This is a fork of code in the package available currently. As far as I 
can tell this one is being actively worked on but the other is not. A 
little background, my primary motivation for wanting this package is 
that it the newest upstream of w3af requires it as a dependency.
