[Fwd: [pyamf-users] Writing an object to a file, should be easy?]

[Nick Joyce]

Hey guys,

See http://lists.pyamf.org/archives/users/2007-December/000003.html for reference.

Basically, encoding a python dict results in an AS array type and we use pyamf.Bag to encode anonymous objects. I think that this is going to be a common misgiving, so I was wondering if we should change the type mappings so that:

dicts -> Object
pyamf.Bag -> Array

Maybe we should also change the name to something more descriptive?

What do you reckon?

Cheers,

Nick

I'm not familiar enough with AS conventions to understand what are the
common use cases. The only analogy I know well is JSON, and the only
option there is to encode dicts to objects.
