Simplefacebook: Facebook Library for Google App Engine (Python)

2 Comments »

Apol­o­gize for not updat­ing this blog so far in 2010. A very happy new year to all my read­ers. (Yes, all three of you! ) Occa­sion­ally have been blog­ging for Xebee as well, that is my employ­ers blog. Check it out as it has some cool posts.

I take this oppor­tu­nity to announce a few things. I have been work­ing on a Face­book App these days, based on Adobe Flex, Google and (of course) Face­book APIs/libraries/platforms. For this app, I needed a very sim­ple Python based Face­book library. I tried cou­ple of API’s already avail­able, none of them fit­ted the bill.

That lead me to cre­ate Sim­ple­face­book

sim­ple­face­book is a min­i­mal­is­tic Facebook’s REST­ful web ser­vice wrap­per for Google App Engine (Python).

Check it out if you are look­ing for a min­i­mal­ist Face­book library for a python web appli­ca­tion deployed on the Google App Engine. Yes, its depen­den­cies include Google App Engine libraries.

But that can be eas­ily rec­ti­fied, so feel free to fork it.

Update: I’ve moved Sim­ple­face­book from SVN / Google Code to Mer­cu­r­ial / Bit­Bucket. SVN to Mer­cu­r­ial for many rea­sons but pri­mar­ily the abil­ity to work in offline mode, and Google Code to Bit­Bucket so that all my projects, pub­lic and pri­vate, are in the same place.
