In general, no, unless you port the all the rest to 2.7.3 as well.
There is already work in progress for this, in the stdlib-2.7.3 branch.

It's almost finished (and definitely worth a try),
there are some nightly builds there (only 32bit Linux for the moment):
http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/stdlib-2.7.3/

Still missing are the implementation of randomized hashes (not enabled by
default anyway)
and a couple of obscure bugs in the import system, probably implementation
details.
