spambayes issues a sets-related DeprecationWarning from classifier.py:43

[Christian Reis]

I am using spambayes from Jaunty:

  ii spambayes 1.0.4-5.1 Python-based spam filter using statistical analysi

When you run it from procmail you get this nice warning in your procmail log:

  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/spambayes/classifier.py:43: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  from sets import Set

If you don't want the warning, you need to patch spambayes with something like the patch available at
https://fedorahosted.org/suds/ticket/55 -- basically making the import conditional on the Python version.

Your .procmailrc needs to contain something like this to reproduce:

 LOGFILE=$HOME/.proclog # recommended
 LOGABSTRACT=all

 #
 # Spamassassin tagging
 #

 :0 fw:hamlock
 | /usr/bin/sb_filter.py

And you need spambayes set up to be able to filter properly.

The same is happening on Lucid with spambayes 1.0.4-5.1.

It produces the message e.g. with `trac-admin hotcopy` when trac-spamfilter is installed, which uses spambayes.

Similar warning in tokenizer.py:

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/spambayes/tokenizer.py:19: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  from sets import Set

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
