django-clamd

This project integrates python-clamd with Django for easy scanning files for viruses on upload

Install

From PyPi with pip:

pip install django-clamd

or

easy_install django-clamd

You can also install development version directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/vstoykov/django-clamd.git

Additionally if you want translations to work you need to add it to installed apps.

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_clamd',
    ...
)

Additionally if you are using Ubuntu, in order for django-clamd to work install clamav-daemon.

sudo apt-get install clamav-daemon

Usage

You can use it in forms:

from django import forms
from django_clamd.validators import validate_file_infection

class UploadForm(forms.Form):
    upload_file = forms.FileField(validators=[validate_file_infection])

Or you can add it as validator directly in your model:

from django.db import models
from django_clamd.validators import validate_file_infection

class FileModel(models.Model):
    document = models.FileField(validators=[validate_file_infection])

You will have automatically scanning of upladed files in Django Admin and also when create ModelForm's for that model.

Configuration

By default django-clamd tries to be smart and with good defaults. You can still configure how to connect to Clamd. Default values are:

CLAMD_SOCKET = '/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl'
CLAMD_USE_TCP = False
CLAMD_TCP_SOCKET = 3310
CLAMD_TCP_ADDR = '127.0.0.1'

Note: When you are running on Fedora or CentOS and clamav-scanner package is installed then default value for CLAMD_SOCKET is:

CLAMD_SOCKET = '/var/run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock'

By default, this package will allow a file if ClamD cannot be contacted or if the scan fails. If you want validation to fail in these instances, change CLAMD_FAIL_BY_DEFAULT

CLAMD_FAIL_BY_DEFAULT = True

You also can disable virus scanning for development with:

CLAMD_ENABLED = False

Note: This is primary for make it easy to run a project on development without the need of installing Clamd on devlopment machine.
