Pyrlang - Erlang node in Python

This is a drop-in Erlang node implementation in Python 3.5, implementing a network Erlang node protocol. It was designed to allow interoperation between existing Python projects and BEAM languages: Erlang, Elixir, Alpaca, Luaerl, LFE, Clojerl and such.

With just a few lines of startup code your Python program becomes an Erlang network node, participating in the Erlang cluster.
