Hi. Thanks for trying PyPy. I tried to build PySide2 with PyPy back in
July, and both PySide2 and PyPy were adjusted to support the recent
7.3.2 release. With that, you will need to build from source, which can
be painful.
For getting a binary build, I think your best bet would be to use conda.
Support right now is not in place, but there are intentions to make it work.
On the performance side, it is expected that the interface layer via the
C-API will be slower than CPython, while your pure python code may run
faster than CPython.
