"""
Generate a Python file, _chinese_mapping.py, that maps Traditional Chinese
characters to their Simplified Chinese equivalents.
This is meant to be a normalization of text, somewhat like case-folding -- not
an actual translator, a task for which this method would be unsuitable. We
store word frequencies using Simplified Chinese characters so that, in the large
number of cases where a Traditional Chinese word has an obvious Simplified Chinese
mapping, we can get a frequency for it that's the same in Simplified and Traditional
Chinese.
Generating this mapping requires the external Chinese conversion tool OpenCC.
