So far, the Twisted trunk can be compiled with PyPy (I used 1.6.1-dev0). However, to install Twisted, you need to apply the patch to zipfile.py, which I sent to stdlib.
zipfile.py 2.7.1+ file descriptor leaks due to CPython-oriented programming style used in zipfile.py
Therefore, the installation fails in PyPy, which uses a different GC model than CPython.
