[erlang-questions] supervise a python process

[Joseph Wayne Norton]

For Python/Erlang integration, I have had success with the following approaches:

- py_interface
   http://www.lysator.liu.se/~tab/erlang/py_interface/

- Python EBF client
   https://github.com/norton/ubf/blob/master/priv/python/pyebf.py

- Python JSON RPC client
   https://github.com/norton/ubf/blob/master/priv/python/jsonrpc.py

The latter two methods haven't been documented yet.  Though, there is some general UBF documentation in place (http://norton.github.com/ubf/ubf-user-guide.en.html).
