Hello, sure, I can provide the Windows binaries and run tests. I have not tried recent master, but I am using a ~2 month old build on Python 3.2 and 3.3 without any issues. As for Python 3.3, there were no problems building matplotlib with Visual Studio 2010, but there is no official numpy release supporting Python 3.3 yet. I also have a PIL fork that works on Python 3, which is good for testing.
