Laurent, can you try this branch and see if it installs cleanly for you
using pip on Python 3.3:

I pulled the fix from numpy's older setup.py (before they moved to a
combined 2.7 and 3.3 code base) and it worked on my tests, but would
like to confirm before merging:

Thanks for reporting the issue,
