I've been having a hard time trying to understand PyPy's translation.  It looks like something absolutely revolutionary from simply reading the description, however I'm hard-pressed to find good documentation on actually translating a real world piece of code to something such as LLVM.  Does such a thing exist?  The official PyPy documentation on it just skims over the functionality, rather than providing anything I can try out myself.
PyPy translator is in general, not intended for more public use. We use it for translating
our own python interpreter (including JIT and GCs, both written in RPython, this restricted
subset of Python). The idea is that with good JIT and GC, you'll be able to speedups even
without knowing or using PyPy's translation toolchain (and more importantly, without
restricting yourself to RPython).
Cheers,

Where can I learn more about PyPy's translation function?
