Take a look at GPIO.tgz (174kB) here:
https://github.com/PiStuffing/Quadcopter/blob/master/GPIO.tgz.  Once
unpacked, the 'wrappers' are in source/py_*.

Thanks

do you have a link to those wrappers? Generally speaking using CPython C API
from PyPy is bound to be slow and there is not much we can do about it (it's
a miracle if it works at all)
