[SciPy-Dev] Plans for PyPy3 wheels?

[Juan Luis Cano]

Hi all,

[I'm sending this to scipy-dev because I'm already subscribed, but I guess
someone could bring this discussion to numpy-discussion as well]

Lately PyPy3 (I'm only interested in Python 3) has matured a lot and it's
becoming more and more interesting with time. The developers invested a lot
of effort in improving the compatibility with CPython C extensions, and I'm
happy to see that SciPy in particular passes all tests in PyPy3:

https://circleci.com/gh/scipy/scipy/8318

There was an effort by Antonio Cuni, a PyPy developer, to produce wheels of
popular scientific packages. However, it's still a non official thing, and
I tried to link them to OpenBLAS but I'm not skilled (or patient) enough:

https://github.com/antocuni/pypy-wheels/pull/6

Are there any plans to officially support PyPy3 (and perhaps PyPy) and
upload official wheels to pypi.org? Lack of binary packages is holding me
back for playing more with PyPy, and there are still no clear plans on what
to do with conda packages:

Did other SciPy or NumPy developers play with PyPy3? Do you think this
would be an interesting thing to have? What needs to be done to get there?

Best,
