I use python3.5, i recently installed spamc using pip. When i try to import spamc, an error is raised: How can i resolve this error?Should i find and install other library where spamc is included in it?

import spamc
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    import spamc
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/spamc/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from spamc.client import SpamC
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/spamc/client.py", line 230
    except socket.gaierror, err:
                          ^

It looks like `spamc` is for Python 2. I'd suggest finding another library, or moving to Python 2. – internet_user Jan 11 '18 at 19:19
how did you reach this conclusion? – Bonfel Jan 11 '18 at 19:26
`except ExceptionType, var_for_exception:` is Python 2 syntax. – internet_user Jan 11 '18 at 19:26
thank you for your answer, do you know if exists in the wild a library like spamc made for python3 ? doing a google search, returned nothing about this. – Bonfel Jan 11 '18 at 19:29
No, I don't actually know what `spamc` is, sorry. – internet_user Jan 11 '18 at 19:29
