I am proud to announce the release of AppState, a python package for implementing a persistent shared application state.
This module allows your Python programs to easily have a persistent global shared state. This state can be used to store things like number of users, game high scores, message of the day from the author, etc. The state has an interface like a dictionary with some additional synchronization functionality and some restrictions. This module connects to a server on the Google App Engine to store and manage data. It uses a simple security model based on Google accounts. Why would you want to use this module? * Quickly add multiplayer features to your Pygame game * Take advantage of Google's efficient and reliable infrastructure (for free!) * Super easy to get started and use * Includes security features Download from PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/AppState README with more info: http://code.google.com/p/pygalaxy/wiki/AppState Suggestions are welcome. -- Nathan Whitehead
