Pywikibot would like to support pypy. It would be useful to have the jenkins jobs automatically reject any changes that include syntax errors detected by pyflakes on pypy .
Currently the tox-jessie job skips pypy testing with
ERROR: InterpreterNotFound: pypy

Change 286598 had a related patch set uploaded (by Hashar):
contint: pypy package for pywikibot
Debian Jessie 's pypy 2.4.0 would be great. I believe it is basically Python 2.7.8 with lots of very old bugs ;-)
Trusty's pypy 2.2.1 would also be ok , as it is Python 2.7.3 , which would be acceptable for at least pyflakes checking, but little else.
Once we have some basic testing working on pypy, we will have a better idea what is failing, and whether we need a much more modern PyPy 5.x to get a supportable version without killing ourselves working around very old bugs.
