Has anyone enumerated the ports and applications which don't work with
python{,2,2.7} symlinked from pypy?  Mailman seems fine but fail2ban
does not start, at least not when it was installed using the original
python2.7 port.  One heads-up is that pypy can take more than an hour to
compile (on x86_64).  The build relies on a single python2 thread which
eventually utilizes over 5GB RAM.
