We (arbitrarily) decided pypy for binary distributions. It's still
called pypy-c when it is compiled. I would go for pypy.

Note that there is no point in pypy2.7-1.9, since there will never be
any other pypy2 but pypy2.7.

pypy3.3-1.9 sounds relatively obscure and verbose to me, but whatever.
How about pypypy for pypy3 instead? (<joke>)
