[Python-modules-team] Bug#845015: ipykernel: Provide pypy-ipykernel

[Gordon Ball]

Source: ipykernel
Severity: wishlist

It would be useful to build a pypy variant of this package (and possibly also
a pypy3 version), so that it is possible to launch a pypy session in jupyter.

Depending on whether pypy3 (RFP #762346) looks like arriving anytime soon,
it may be worth deferring this so that we only need to go through the
dependencies once.

Missing pypy packages:

ipython
decorator
pexpect
ptyprocess
pickleshare
prompt-toolkit
wcwidth
pygments
simplegeneric
backports-shutil-get-terminal-size
pathlib2
jupyter-client
jupyter-core
tornado
backports-abc
singledispatch
traitlets
ipython-genutils
