This looks like it may be due to the version of pypy packaged for Xenial.
The pypi info for cryptography does state PyPy 5.3+ is supported. The latest
package I see for 16.04 is pypy/xenial-updates 5.1.2+dfsg-1~16.04.
Is there a way we can get a newer version loaded on our images? I would be
fine testing against it, though the lack of oslo support does give a high
risk that something else may break once we get past the cryptography issue.
