Hi Marius,

I did run some trials of reportlab with pypy a while back and it was mostly 
working. I nevert tried out with an alpha though :)


I looked at the travis thing, but it looked like double dutch to me, my best 
interpretation is that something went wrong with 
https://github.com/mgedmin/mgp2pdf.git, but looking there I see that 6 days ago 
you dropped the pypy support in the code.

I will try and set up a pypy  test in the near future. I'm almost certain last 
time I tried the failures were mostly to do with pil/pillow. You seem to have no 
trouble with pillow as you commented

According to

https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/reportlab%20toolkit

RL is compatible, but my naive attempts to do pip install reportlab fail when 
trying to do extension compilations so it can't be that compatible.
