Hi list, just to keep you informed: the ZODB3 can be successfully installed in a PyPy-1.8 virtual environment, but the tests fail. Below is the whole bash session I tried on Ubuntu LTS. For the PyPy developers the interesting part might be the last section, "Running the ZODB3 tests". Thanks for the great job you are doing. Aroldo.
