Initially just install PyPy 1.9, then in the Biopython source do something
like this (just like running the tests under Python 2, Python 3, Jython
etc):

$ pypy setup.py install
$ pypy setup.py test

Ideally we'd have some more volunteer machines which are online
continuously, which we can trigger to run the tests every night (and
occasionally manually triggered) using buildbot:

You'll need me or Tiago to actually add the new buildslave to the
setup on testing.open-bio.org
