2013-06-10 Released ErlPort 1.0.0alpha

After almost 2 years of development new 1.0.0alpha version of ErlPort library was released.

New version of ErlPort helps develop applications which want to connect Erlang to Python or Ruby or want to use Erlang as a middleware for these two programming languages.

Changes:

  • Redesigned as Erlang application
  • Added support for all recent Python versions
  • Added support for all recent Ruby versions
  • Added support for custom data types

The following is an example ErlPort session for Python:

1> {ok, P} = python:start().
{ok,<0.34.0>}
2> python:call(P, sys, 'version.__str__', []).
<<"2.7.3 (default, Aug  1 2012, 05:14:39) \n[GCC 4.6.3]">>
3> python:call(P, operator, add, [2, 2]).
4
4> python:stop(P).
ok
