AmFast

A Flash remoting framework for Python that uses AMF to communicate between Python and Flash, Flex, and any other system that supports AMF.

Server Features

• Support for NetConnection and RemoteObject RPC.
• Support for Producer/Consumer 'push' messaging with HTTP polling, HTTP long-polling, and real-time HTTP streaming channels.
• Support for authentication with NetConnection and RemoteObject.
• Built in Channels for CherryPy, Twisted Web, Google App Engine, Django, Tornado and plain WSGI.
• Support for configurable Endpoints. Use AmFast's built-in AMF encoder/decoder C-extension, or use an external AMF encoder/decoder, such as PyAmf for a pure-Python implementation.

AMF Encoder/Decoder Features

• AMF0/AMF3 encoder/decoder written in C as a Python extension for speed.
• Map custom classes with ClassDef objects for complete control over serialization/de-serialization.
• Full support for IExternalizable objects.
• Data persistence with SqlAlchemy including remotely-loadable lazy-loaded attributes.
• Actionscript code generation from ClassDef objects.
