pypy import clr fails on Windows

Question

I tried pythonnet with pypy on Win10. It builds fine, but then fails to import clr. The crash happens after this call in the screenshot.

Any tips/tools for debugging this?

This seems to be a known critical issue with pypy.

I would suggest updating to Python3 as Python2.7 became unsupported from the beginning of 2020, even if this doesn't fix your issue.
