Dave Thompson created a new address book example that uses the new SQLAlchemy adapter that was added in the latest release of PyAMF. PyAMF provides Action Message Format (AMF) support for Python, mainly used in the Adobe Flash Player for RPC communication.
You can browse or download the source from the Subversion repository. You can find instructions on how to run the example yourself on the documentation page.

Ohloh API and Python
Saturday, April 26th, 2008Ohloh is a website which provides a web services suite and online community platform that aims to map the landscape of open source software development. The Ohloh API is a free, REST-based programming interface to the Ohloh open source directory. You can use the Ohloh API to create your own applications and web services based on Ohloh data. There’s a Python example client and additional examples are available for Java, Ruby, Bash, Perl, PHP and C++.
I decided to create a simple AMF gateway using PyAMF that pulls the account data from Ohloh and then passes it to a Flex application. The reason I use a AMF gateway is because I don’t want to hardcode and expose my API key in the Flex client application, which could be decompiled easily, allowing others to abuse my key.
You can test their API by entering the emailaddress of a registered Ohloh user in the input text-field below, click Submit, and it will display the user’s general account info and load the user’s avatar.

ByteArray example
Thursday, January 10th, 2008We have created a simple PyAMF example for the ByteArray class in ActionScript which provides methods and properties to optimize reading, writing, and working with binary data. The PyAMF equivalent of this class is also called ByteArray that provides the same basic functionality. (more…)
