After fiddling with the 2.0_beta ebuild to install pypy/bin/rpython:

# /usr/lib64/pypy2.0/rpython
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "app_main.py", line 52, in run_toplevel
  File "/usr/lib64/pypy2.0/rpython", line 11, in <module>
    from pypy.translator.goal.translate import main
ImportError: No module named pypy


Would be very nice to have these components (rpython + pypy/ folder) installed too. If I figure out how to cleanly do that I'll just fix it

well ImportError: No module named pypy generally spells you gotta set PYTHONPATH for whatever silly reason it lost its way, but in this case it appears a non standard manouver.

I proposed in IRC to just install the pypy folder under /usr/lib/pypy${SLOT}/pypy, rather than try to shoehorn it into site-packages. It's more of a build system than a shared package.

This would require any consumers to set PYTHONPATH to utilize the modules contained therein.

What's the rationale for having it?
