How do I use ipython on top of a pypy interpreter rather than a cpython interpreter? ipython website just says it works, but is scant on the details of how to do it.

You can create a PyPy virtualenv :
virtualenv -p /path/to/pypy <venv_dir>
Activate the virtualenv
source <venv_dir>/bin/activate
and install ipython
pip install ipython

If someone wants to get this working on pypy for python 2, you need
pip install ipython==1.2.1This worked for me, after pypy is installed:
pypy -m easy_install ipython
Then it gets installed in the same directory as pypy, so if pypy is at this location:
which pypy
/usr/local/bin/pypy
Then ipython will be there
/usr/local/bin/ipython
You can set up an alias in your bash startup script:
alias pypython="/usr/local/share/pypy/ipython"

- install setuptools to pypy
- install pip with setuptools to pypy
do
pypy\bin\pip install ipython

The "straight forward" way is:
- Install
pypy3 pypy3 -m pip install ipythonpypy3 -m IPython

pypy doesn't come with a pip installation by default (although, these days
ensurepip could be used to bootstrap one).

Depends how you install it. For example if you install pypy through Homebrew (on macOS), then it does comes with pip pre-installed.
