Python dict round-trips as an Erlang/Elixir map. Golden vectors from
real Erlang term_to_binary verify wire compatibility for:
- empty map (#{})
- keyed map with binary keys + mixed values
- {ok, #{status => ok, balance => N}} (Elixir gen_server reply shape)
122 tests green. Required for the unfeed ErlangDistTransport which
decodes Elixir wallet RPC replies.

erldistpy
Native Python client for our Erlang distribution protocol. Talk Erlang/Elixir nodes from CPython without HTTP shim layers.
Built to swap into unfeed's WalletTransport so a Python web app can call
Unsandbox.WalletRPC over native dist instead of HTTPS. Same gen_call
semantics, lower latency, fewer moving parts.
Status
Phase 0 — repo bones. See docs/ROADMAP.md for the phase plan.
Quick start
make bootstrap # create venv, install editable + dev deps
make test # run pytest
make lint # ruff check
Scope
- ETF (External Term Format) codec — encode/decode Erlang terms
- EPMD client — node name → port lookup
- Distribution handshake — cookie auth, version negotiation
- gen_call to registered processes on a remote node
- TLS dist support (Erlang
inet_tls_dist)
Out of scope: full Erlang node impersonation, link/monitor lifecycles, distributed Mnesia. We are a client, not a peer node.
Why not Pyrlang?
Pyrlang implements a full asyncio Erlang node. Heavy, asyncio-first, complex.
We need a small synchronous client that fits behind the same WalletTransport
Protocol as httpx. Different shape.
