I've moved to Python 3 for all my projects, unfortunately pypy support for Python 3 doesn't exist (at least in the stable releases). Modules built with cython (such as the excellent LXML bindings to libxml2) don't work with pypy. I guess it's just hard to make sure all your deps will work in the pypy world.

A brief experiment with PyPy

There are still many more programs and library working with python2.x than with python3.x. So in my opinion pypy is better positioned there than cpython (it even removes some incentives to switch, since unladen swallow was stopped).
