Cross-check the port's build options with the installed pypy3 ones. This is because the CFFI port must be compatible to the installed pypy3 build. This is to ensure the same Python compatibility level (3.7, 3.8 or e.9).

PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language
(2.7.18). It has several advantages and distinct features:

 - Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler, Python programs often run faster
          on PyPy.
 - Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less
                 space than they do in CPython.
 - Compatibility: PyPy is highly compatible with existing python code. It
                  supports ctypes and can run popular python libraries like
                  twisted and django.
 - Sandboxing: PyPy provides the ability to run untrusted code in a fully
               secure way.
 - Stackless: PyPy can be configured to run in stackless mode, providing
              micro-threads for massive concurrency.
 - As well as other features.
