Are you sure? In October 2012 CTPUG sprinted on getting pygame running
under pypy [1] and encountered a number of issues [2]. We got some
bugs fixed and a pygame window to display eventually but it wasn't
exactly working (or fast).

Duangle has started to wrap SDL using cffi [3] which might be a saner
starting point for getting an SDL wrapper that runs under pypy with
good performance.
