There are common libraries which do things incompatible with the way pypy works. I've never gotten it to do anything but abort, when run over a non-trivial program.
mypy is a very cool experimental project (as their own webpage calls it), but I wouldn't fault anyone for not running it on their program.

The question, then, is why that kind of analysis isn't built into the compiler?

We would rather let these conventions develop organically, based on real-world usage and necessity, than try to force all users into some contrived scheme. ([14], [15], [16]).
