-"""
-Implementation of a translator from application Python to
-interpreter level RPython.
-
-The idea is that we can automatically transform application level
-implementations of methods into some equivalent representation at
-interpreter level. Then, the RPython to C translation might
-hopefully spit out some more efficient code than always interpreting
-these methods.
-
-Note that the application level functions are treated as rpythonic,
-in a sense that globals are constants, for instance. This definition
-is not exact and might change.
-
-The interface for this module is
-
-    (initfunc, newsrc) = translate_as_module(
-                                sourcetext,
-                                filename=None,
-                                modname="app2interpexec",
-                                tmpname=None)
-
-If filename is given, it is used as a reference where
-this sourcetext can be literally found, to produce
-real line numbers. It cannot be just any name but
-must exist and contain the source code somewhere.
-
-modname is optional and will be put into the dictionary
-to be created.
-
-tmpname is optional. If given, a temporary file will
-be created for debugging purposes.
-
-The returned newsrc is the generated source text.
-It is used in gateway.py's caching mechanism.
-The initfunc result is a function named "init"+modname
-It must be called with a space instance and returns
-a wrapped dict which is suitable to use as a module dict,
-containing all trnaslatedobjects with their originalname.
-
-Integration of this module is finished.
-There are no longer hand-generated source
-pieces in pypy svn.

-Description
-_____________________________
-
-This test is almost a copy of test_genc.py
-The setup code is slightly different:
-Instead of compiling single functions from
-snippets.py, almost all of snippets is translated,
-up to the point where they are untranslatable.
-snippets has been slightly re-ordered for that.
-
-The idea was to create a couple of tests without much
-extra work, in a sense derived from the test_genc.
-
-A problem with that is, that the tests actually should
-be run at application level. The test code checks real
-Python values,so we have to do tricks to unwrap things.
-This is limited:
-Some tests cannot work, since they mutate their arguments.
-Some tests operate with un-unwrappable things.
-Those are disabled for the moment by an 'needapp_' prefix.
-
-XXX think about a way to produce more tests from a common
-XXX basis. Should we write generators for such tests like this?
