Google did the Ajax version of the Python shell, running on Google App Engine, we present you with the Flex version (click image to view the sample):
You can browse or download the source from the Subversion repository. You can find instructions on how to run the example yourself in the documentation.
This is just a simple novelty, who cares? OMG you used _FLEX_ instead of javascript… big friggin deal.
Uh, oh, schoolboy error …
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.write(open(’settings.py’).read())
…
SECRET_KEY = ‘hv3c-_#z*tibii%0u@7^@be7c=-#!8$+td%$blvuzscgs4^ey%’
…
wow does that first commentor have a stick up his rear!! Anyway you all are doing a great job!!!! Keep up the good work! Love the demo
Nice. I think it handles better than the ajax version, not sure why. It’ll be nice to be able to interact with a running app’s server side from within the client.
@Friendly Neighbourhood White Hat: we already pointed out that you shouldn’t run this demo in a production environment, unless it’s something restrictive like Google App Engine. The secret key you mention can also be found in the source code and is no secret anymore anyway
Nice demo! Thanks for sharing your work

I’ve been experimenting with PyAMF and have problems with non ascii characters.
Will you be addressing utf-8 anytime soon?
Not to be picky
Because I think you are doing a tremendous job!
And I’d help with the utf had I the knowledge!
Txs,
Miguel
@ Miguel: UTF-8 is fully supported in PyAMF. We have a number of unit tests to cover this and there aren’t any open issues. What version of PyAMF are you using? If you’re using Django with PyAMF then you might hit this issue which was solved in the trunk and will be part of the next release. If you’re seeing other issues, please register on pyamf.org and create a new ticket with any sample apps that can reproduce those issues.
@ Thijs Triemstra: I’m using your Hello world example server by Nick Joyce that I got at http://pyamf.org/wiki/HelloWorld
The problem only happears when I hard code some strange characters in the return data from the Python server, for example “ê ã €”. On the other hand if I enter strange characters in Flex the round trip is sweet!

@Basarat: that’s great stuff, thanks for sharing that!
