We're seeing unittest failures under Python 3.1 and 3.2 on Windows XP via the buildbot,

e.g.
http://testing.open-bio.org:8010/builders/Windows%20XP%20-%20Python%203.1/builds/240/steps/shell/logs/stdio
or
http://testing.open-bio.org:8010/builders/Windows%20XP%20-%20Python%203.2/builds/100/steps/shell/logs/stdio


======================================================================
FAIL: test_unicode_characters_desc (test_SeqIO_SeqXML.TestDetailedRead)
Test special unicode characters in the description.

This test is currently working on Linux, Mac OS X for Python 3.

There was a similar failure in Jython 2.5.1 (cross platform), now fixed in Jython 2.5.2, see:
