🔨🐍 A brave snake worker slithering across...

This module defines a GenServer that manages a snake worker, which interacts with a Python process to execute specified functions asynchronously. The main :run_snake call, creates a Task.async/1 which calls python and handles exceptions returning python result or an Error struct which gets sent with signal to the caller process. This Task gets awaited inside the :run cast(). The original call() returns :ok

Configuration

Python options can be configured inside :venomous :python_opts config key

All of these are optional. However you will most likely want to set module_paths

  @available_opts [
  :module_paths, # List of paths to your python modules
  :cd, # Change python's directory on spawn. Default is $PWD
  :compressed, # Can be set from 0-9. May affect performance. Read more on [Erlport documentation](http://erlport.org/docs/python.html#erlang-api)
  :envvars, # additional python process envvars
  :packet_bytes, # Size of erlport python packet. Default: 4 = max 4GB of data. Can be set to 1 = 256 bytes or 2 = ? bytes if you are sure you won't be transfering a lot of data.
  :python_executable # path to python executable to use.
