The error message:

Note that I have recently changed the buildout.cfg to by default create Python3.3 as well. If you don't intend to use it, you may of course comment it out.

Note that I then also tried 3.3.0a3 (instead of the a2 that is now in python33.cfg) but this failed to build and I could not get it to work.

Thanks. This is not a deal-breaker for me, but just wanted to note this (run bin/buildout default config).

Most likely upstream bug :)

Does it still fail with Python 3.3 final?

This works at least on my install.
