Description: ========
        Mini-AMF
        ========
        
        Mini-AMF provides Action Message Format (AMF_) serialization and
        deserialization support for Python_, compatible with the `Adobe Flash
        Player`_.  It supports Python 2.7 and 3.4+.
        
        Mini-AMF is a trimmed-down version of the `original PyAMF`_, which (as
        far as I can tell) is no longer being maintained.  It provides only
        the core serialization and deserialization primitives, and support for
        reading and writing LSO_ objects on disk.  Support for Flex-specific
        types, "remoting", and integration with web frameworks has all been
        removed.  (Adapter classes are still supported.)
        
        Mini-AMF is lightly maintained by `Zack Weinberg`_.  All bug reports
        and pull requests will be heard and responded to, but I have no plans
        to develop the software any further myself.  Please note that patches
        to restore support for old versions of Python 2 will *not* be
        accepted, as this interferes with support for Python 3.  Please also
        note that "remoting" and server integration will probably be easier to
        maintain in their own separate packages, one per framework.
        
        
        What's AMF?
        -----------
        
        AMF is a binary message serialization format geared for remote
        procedure calls, native to the `Adobe Flash Player`_ and `Adobe
        Integrated Runtime`_.  There are two versions of the format, AMF0 and
        AMF3.  AMF3 is more compact than AMF0, and and supports data types
        that are available only in ActionScript_ 3.0, such as ByteArray.
