This seems like a natural fit for Twisted. Really, any TCP or UDP
protocol can be implemented pretty easily using a subclass of
twisted.internet.protocol.Protocol [1], or a class that otherwise
implements the interface twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocol [2].

You can see a myriad of examples of protocols that have been implemented
with Twisted already, in the twisted.protocols sub-package [3]. I
suggest that you develop your AMF/RTMP implementations with the
possibility in mind of them being incorporated into that sub-package.

I'd be willing to some assistance here and there if you like, but
probably not major amounts of coding.

Best regards, Ed
