Guestbook Example

This example shows how to create a simple guestbook application using Twisted and Flex.

There is a live demo available on the PyAMF blog.

Download

Grab the example from the Subversion repository with:

svn co http://svn.pyamf.org/examples/trunk/guestbook guestbook-example
cd guestbook-example/python

Alternatively, if you just want to have a look, you can browse the source online.

Database

This example uses a MySQL setup with a database called 'guestbook'. The schema file is included that you need to run on your database first.
The database host/username/password settings can be found in the config file.

Server

The Twisted server for the Flash/AMF client starts on http://localhost:8080 when you start the guestbook.tac file from the python folder:

twistd -noy guestbook.tac

Note: Make sure you have Twisted >= 2.5 installed.

You should see something like:
