Hi Edd, Apologies for the late reply, have been quite busy with (new) life recently.
I'm using pypy for one specific purpose (processing some data collected from my electricity meter), where it very significantly outperforms regular python. I would love to move yo py3-based pypy! Thanks for taking care of pypy in the past!
