The sanity test check aims to ensure that every function listed in the Python code maps to a corresponding C function. The Sparse send/recv methods are special though - we're never calling the corresponding C APIs, instead we have a pure python impl. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

Are they facing an exception because cmod is > unable to find that func? Yes, the same is true of any of the functions where we manually written the Python API. To be fully correct we ought to annotate the manually written python code and then process the .py file to strip out the APIs we can't support. Patches welcome for doing that....
