Ports aren't a replacement for ErlPort, they're a pre-existing mechanism of Erlang/OTP. ErlPort is a library that makes it easy to use ports with Ruby and Python. It's not actively developped but the community has managed to keep it compatible with recent Erlang/OTP releases. In my experience it works well and makes it a breeze to call Python from Elixir.
