Build system seems to have CPython-specific assumptions.
I have restricted PyPy ABIs.

[Comment 3 Marien Zwart (RETIRED) 2012-06-02 11:59:46 UTC]

Confirmed the build system just does not work right: it uses python-config (and finds python-config-2.7 from cpython 2.7 when building with pypy) and ends up installing /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.pypy-18.so which just isn't going to work. Restricted pypy for now, we'll probably need pypy to install a python-config before this can be fixed properly.
