Future Development

This software is essentially finished. Mini-AMF provides complete support for encoding and decoding AMF versions 0 and 3. What with the general deprecation of Flash on the Web, I do not expect that there will be newer versions of AMF to support.

The older PyAMF software also supported types peculiar to Adobe Flex, had direct support for AMF-based RPC (“remoting”), and contained adapter classes for integration with several ORMs and web frameworks. All of that has been removed, primarily in the name of making it easier to support Python 3, and secondarily because the adapter classes were all broken when used with the current versions of their frameworks. I have no plans to add any of that back; I think server integration is properly a separate package, or perhaps several packages, one per framework.

PyAMF also included a C extension module for speed. The source code to this module is still included in Mini-AMF, but it is broken and has been disabled by default (you can activate it by giving setup.py the command line option --with-accel). I may eventually get around to fixing it.
