Currently you are on your own.

This is the step i follow:

1) patch genc.py to export RPython_StartupCode in addition to
pypy_main_startup

export_symbols=["pypy_main_startup", "RPython_StartupCode"]))

and run:

pypy translate.py -Ojit --shared

to build libpypy

2) add this declaration on top of your code

#ifdef UWSGI_PYPY
char *RPython_StartupCode(void);
#define pypy_asm_stack_bottom()  asm volatile ("/* GC_STACK_BOTTOM */" : :
: \
                                               "memory")

#endif

3) instead of Py_Initialize() call

pypy_asm_stack_bottom();
RPython_StartupCode();

After that you have an almost working pypy environment.

A bunch of python c api functions are not implemented (but you will find
it is pretty easy to add them, even as noop) so be prepared to some
compromise.

What kills me is the amount of time taken to rebuild the whole library, so
i can work on it only on spare time (i am porting both mod_wsgi and uWSGI)
:)
