+NumPy and Pandas now work on PyPy2.7. Issues that appeared as excessive memory
+use were cleared up and other incompatibilities were resolved. The C-API
+compatibility layer does slow down code which crosses the python-c interface
+often, we have ideas on how it could be improved, and still recommend
+using pure python on PyPy or interfacing via CFFI_. Many other modules
+based on C-API exentions now work on PyPy as well.
Cython 0.27 (released last week) should support more projects with PyPy, both
on PyPy2.7 and PyPy3.5 beta.
