PyPy versioning is different to CPython. The version in the current readme files (3.6.9) refers to the CPython compatibility of the given PyPy release, but is different to the actual PyPy version, which is currently 7.3.0. It would be ideal if both version numbers were listed in the readme, e.g. "7.3.0 (Python 3.6 x86)".

@nulano , thank you for your suggestion. That will definitely improve our documentation.
We are planning to rework PyPy installation logic soon (approximately in 1 month) and we are going to handle this work item in scope of this work. I will keep it opened

When you do this, please take into account the canonical location for all things pypy has moved off bitbucket: downloads are now hosted at https://downloads.python.org/pypy and development happens at https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy.

@nulano we specify the exact PyPy version in Releases for every OS now. I'm going to close the issue, but feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.
Thank you!
