catkin requires python 2.7, which is the minimum version set out in REP 3:

It _might_ work with python 2.6, but I couldn't promise this.

Has it been tested with Python 3.2 or 3.3?

It is not regularly tested on Python 3.2 or 3.3. Parts are tested (catkin_pkg) regularly: https://travis-ci.org/ros-infrastructure/catkin_pkgcatkin_pkg is known to be failing on 3.3
