Pyrlang Library¶
Pyrlang is a Python library which implements Erlang distribution protocol and creates an Erlang-compatible node in your Erlang cluster.
You can send and receive messages, spawn "processes" on Python side, which will be addressable from Erlang using familiar Erlang concepts like message sending to process identifiers or registered names. Also same works from Python: you can address Erlang processes, send messages to them, monitor and link with them.
The library is designed to be dropped into existing code base with very few changes required.
