PyAMF blog

We’re pleased to announce a new release of PyAMF, a lightweight library that allows Flash and Python applications to communicate via Adobe’s ActionScript Message Format.

This release improves support for Google App Engine and introduces a new AMF gateway for GAE web applications. Aral Balkan announced he’s using PyAMF in his GAESWF project, which will be used to power the website of the online Singularity conference later this year.

You can try some of the PyAMF examples for GAE on our appspot like the Interactive Python shell example and the PUnit tool to run the PyAMF unit tests on GAE using a web interface. We also added an Ohloh API example.

The dependency on the fpconst module was removed for Python >= 2.5 to make it easier to deploy PyAMF applications on GAE and devices like smart phones. Unfortunately we had to keep it around for the Windows platform due to a float issue with that version of Python 2.5.
