It’s currently disabled, that is, the internal PyPy support module _numpypy (also called micronumpy).

It will definitely work in the future. What’s required is re-enabling the tests (removing py3k_skip()s) and getting them passing. I’m guessing what’s needed there is mostly straightforward work of adapting various things to the python 3 world — e.g. killing references to the long type and other outdated constructs, fixing unicode vs bytes things, py3 syntax, adapting tests, etc. Some of these changes have already been made but the module has fallen to the way side while we focused on core py3k compat. work.

Any help would be appreciated, especially if you’re familiar with numpy and py3k, I suspect it won't take too much effort to get it going. PyPy core devs will be happy to assist, come by the #pypy IRC channel =]

Definitely: http://pypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/stm.html#python-3
