For those who might find it helpful. Applicable to python3 only

• If we look closely to these tables -> columns for erlang binary() to python bytes() for [python3 only] vise versa.

• This basically means that arguments of str() data type in erlang sent over to python functions will be converted to bytes() in python3.

• So for python functions expecting arguments of str() data type, do not forget to convert the received arguments back to python string before using.

# gist ref decoded_args = locals() for arg_name, arg_value in locals().items(): if isinstance(arg_value, bytes): decoded_args[arg_name] = arg_value.decode("utf-8")

why str -> list?

With that you cant tell apart the python string "123" and list [49,50,51].
