 From that site:
"Mandatory dependencies include Python 2.7,"

For a new, still-beta package, this is somewhat sad. 2.7 is 3.5 years 
old and has only 1.5 years of semi-normal maintainance left. It will be 
more like 1 year when you get to your final release.

If you are not supporting anything before 2.7, it should not be hard to 
make your python code also support 3.x. Use the future imports for print 
and unicode. Others have written more guidelines.

"Numpy, either PyQt4 or PySide, PyOpenGL, matplotlib"

These all support 3.2,3.3 (PyOpenGl says 'experimental').
