Pyzor DeprecatedWarning causes spamassassin to fail to parse

[Benoit Grégoire]

Can be fixed by replacing the first line of /usr/bin/pyzor:

#!/usr/bin/python

with

#!/usr/bin/python -Wignore::DeprecationWarning

spamassassin will then parse properly.

To verify:

wget http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/sample-spam.txt
spamassassin -D pyzor <sample-spam.txt

With the patch above, you should no longuer see errors about failing to parse response.

Can you show me what message you receive?

This bug was fixed in the package pyzor - 1:0.5.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
pyzor (1:0.5.0-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: Add simple-patchsys support.
  * Add 01-python26_warnings.patch to fix Python 2.6 DeprecationWarning due to
    the use of deprecated sha module (LP: #394775).
  * Bump Standards, no change required.

I was able to trace the fix for this through the Fedora bug service.
These fixes are tested with Python2.6

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

Closing jaunty task as jaunty is past EOL

[IKT (ikt)]

I take it this is fixed in maverick and natty?

Can anyone confirm?

[Benoit Grégoire (benoitg)]

I can confirm it is fixed on Maverick

I confirm Michael's comment (#4) as I still see this in Lucid :

The problem is that the only the sha depreciation warning was addressed. There are still 2 more warnings :

$ pyzor ping
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyzor/client.py:12: DeprecationWarning: the multifile module has been deprecated since Python 2.5
  import multifile
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/pyzor/__init__.py:429: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters
  super(ThreadId, self).__init__(i)

[Simon Déziel (sdeziel)]

Apparently this does not prevent Spamassassin from properly interpret pyzor results. The depreciation warnings are not completely addressed though. When using the workaround suggested in the bug report (add -Wignore::DeprecationWarning) I get this clean debug output :

$ spamassassin -D pyzor <spam.eml > /dev/null

This is only a workaround though.
