newbie question: why doesn't pypy run google app engine dev_appserver.py?

There are hordes of small app engine apps that would love to self-host but for the (very) poor performance of dev_appserver, which seems to hinge on CPU and memory performance, which pypy could address.
thanks, adam

Hi Adam.
I have no idea. Posting a traceback (or describing the way it does not work) will be a good start.

sure... but it looked like nobody's tried it, and I didn't want to dig into before understanding other people's experience.
the immediate problem was this import error: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-appengine/ijP7X5JXiKM/fIAcI0X-9DIJ

Hi Adam, Maciej
I’m pretty sure there is some vendor lock-in happening. I vaguely remember app-engine python and its sdk is a bit different than normal python and would need some extra porting for support on pypy.
