At some point (one year ago?) I had pygame run on pypy for sure. Did you try compiling pygame with pypy as the Python interpreter? -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc

Are you sure? In October 2012 CTPUG sprinted on getting pygame running under pypy [1] and encountered a number of issues [2]. We got some bugs fixed and a pygame window to display eventually but it wasn't exactly working (or fast). Duangle has started to wrap SDL using cffi [3] which might be a saner starting point for getting an SDL wrapper that runs under pypy with good performance.
