You might be interested in PyViennaCL, for which I've just made the
first release. See my announcement below; if you're on the numpy and
scipy users' lists, you'll have seen it there, too.

Briefly: PyViennaCL aims to make powerful GPGPU computing really
transparently easy, especially for users already using NumPy for
representing matrices.

I haven't tried building with PyPy yet, but that's fairly high up on my
to-do list.

Cheers,

Toby
