====== PyAMF 0.3.1 Released ======

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

This release improves support for [[http://code.google.com/appengine|Google App Engine]] and introduces a new AMF [[http://api.pyamf.org/pyamf.remoting.gateway.google-module.html|gateway]] for GAE web applications. [[http://aralbalkan.com|Aral Balkan]] [[http://aralbalkan.com/1318|announced]] he's using PyAMF in the [[http://gaeswf.appspot.com|GAESWF]] project, which will be used to power the website of the online [[http://singularity08.com|Singularity]] conference later this year.

You can try some of the PyAMF examples for GAE on our [[http://pyamf.appspot.com|appspot]] like the [[http://pyamf.appspot.com/shell|Interactive Python shell example]] and the [[http://pyamf.appspot.com/punit|PUnit]] tool to run the PyAMF unit tests on GAE using a web interface. We also added an [[http://blog.pyamf.org/archives/ohloh-api-and-python|Ohloh API example]].

The dependency on the [[http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fpconst|fpconst]] module was [[http://pyamf.org/ticket/243|removed]] for Python >= 2.5 to make it easier to deploy PyAMF applications on GAE and devices like smart phones. Unfortunately we had to [[http://pyamf.org/ticket/275|keep it around]] for the Windows platform due to a float issue with that version of Python 2.5.

Check out the [[http://pyamf.org/wiki/Download|download]] page, [[http://pyamf.org/wiki/Install|installation]] instructions or the [[http://api.pyamf.org|API documentation]]. Questions? First stop is the [[http://pyamf.org/wiki/MailingList|mailing list]] but we also hang out on [[irc://irc.collab.eu/pyamf|IRC]].
