Aral Balkan just released the GAE SWF project which is an open source project that helps Flash and Flex developers both deploy their applications to Google App Engine as well as provides a series of hooks so you can make the most of the GAE and do things like leverage Google Accounts and make Flash behave more like regular web apps so you can change the URL easy with SWFAddress and make Flash obey the font-size changes.

GAE SWF is a Python/ActionScrpt 3 hybrid framework that incorporates “some of the best open source components available today on the Flash Platform and Python ecosystem”. GAE is a very, very cool way to deploy applications and it’s awesome that Aral has taken an open source approach to helping Flash and Flex developers take advantage of it.

Thanks to Mike for the heads up.
