+Getting PyPy
+------------
+
+Check out the latest version of PyPy:
+
+  http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/getting-started.html#svn-check-out-run-the-latest-pypy-as-a-two-liner
+
+Also make sure ctypes is available for your Python.
+
+Running the tests
+-----------------
+
+To run the tests:
+
+  $ python2.4 bootstrap.py
+  $ bin/buildout
+  $ export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/pypy-dist:$PYTHONPATH
+  $ bin/test
+
+Compiling with PyPy's RPython
+-----------------------------
+
+To compile the rpython:
+
+First, you need to set up PYTHONPATH so it has the required packages on the
+path:
+
+  $ export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/buildout/src:/path/to/buildout/eggs/zope.interface:/path/to/buildout/eggs/zope.i18nmessageid:$PYTHONPATH
+
+Now, run the following command to compile::
+
+  $ python /path/to/pypy-dist/pypy/bin/compilemodule.py _talinterpreter zope.tal
+
+The first argument is name of the RPython sub-package you want to
+compile, the second argument is path to the package where this RPython
+sub-package is found.
+
+The compiled module will be placed in
+/tmp/usession-XX/_talinterpreter/_talinterpreter.so. Move this file to
+src/zope/tal and rename _talinterpreter the package to make this work.
