Quite a detailed answer to this question can be found in the answer to
this FAQ:

Q0823: I'd like to pass all messages through a virus-scanning system
before delivery. Can Exim do this?

Don't be mislead by the term "Exim filter", which is not quite what you
want. Essentially, you'll want to use the pipe transport's `command'
option to point to filter.py using its full path. Make sure the Python
script is executable and uses the shebang (#!) construct so that exec()
knows which interpreter to use.
