I believe the reason is that they prefer to focus the development effort into the more "basic" Numpy and from that go on. Numpy is not fully implemented I am working (actually, right now I am only in the "thinking" state) on some modules of NumPy, maybe we could coordinate and give this a boost.

I know there is no current plan to implement scipy in pypy, but searching the PyPy website, I was not able to find the reason.
If it is not to be included as a feature due to lack of interest or developer time, I am offering to begin rewriting scipy in pure python (I have quite a bit of free time to do this). If it has been discussed and actively excluded from pypy, I would like to know that before I waste too much time rewriting it.
I have an active interest in being able to use some modules which depend on scipy while using the PyPy interpreter (especially pyBrain). I have seen the hack on the pypy blog:

I could simply use the hack myself, but unless there's a reason not too, I think it'd be nice to have scipy available as a pure python module (perhaps called scipypy in the same manner as numpy).
