Would it be possible to port it to the erlang-vm?

The Async stuff, generators & yields surely. Maybe even yield from.

One obstacle is that Python code is often not recursive nor makes use of pattern matching.

So it all depends on what kind of Python you want to port.

Not a good fit. Too imperative/oo to fit into Erlang's functional world.

A subset may be.
