Python X and Elixir Interoperability
A new project called Python X enables the incorporation of Python runtimes within Elixir applications, enhancing interoperability between the two languages. This innovation supports various applications, particularly in machine learning, allowing developers to avoid the complexities of managing separate infrastructures for Python. For example, using Python X, developers can make requests to Python libraries directly and receive responses in JSON format within their Elixir applications. The project leverages existing Python C bindings, which facilitates cross-language operations without the need for heavy infrastructure setups.
