The dependency on pypy3.6 worries me a little. Let's merge and log an issue to follow up on that.

I think it might work without pypy, but it would require much more time to compile the data files (nextpnr instructions). Also cpython should be an option.

PyPy3 is not needed but there was a very significant difference in database build runtime (something like 5x iirc) so it is strongly recommended. I have a speedup planned in the future that will make it less needed.
