Usage:
First of all see the c Port section in the Erlang guide.
http://www.erlang.org/doc/tutorial/c_port.html#4

1. Start Erlang and compile the Erlang user guide example code:
http://www.erlang.org/doc/tutorial/complex1.erl


unix> erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 4.9.1.2

Eshell V4.9.1.2 (abort with ^G)
1> c(complex1).
{ok,complex1}
    
3. Run the example.
2> complex1:start("python -u port.py PortTest").
<0.34.0>
3> complex1:foo(3).
4
4> complex1:bar(5).
10
5> complex1:stop().
stop
    
For more fun try.
