Thanks for the response, and I swear that I did try googling the error, but didn't find anything. Oh well. Anyway, it seems that adding msvcr100.dll to my python3.3\libs has done something. I'm getting a different file not found message now:

Working on the reasoning that sticking the missing file into the python3.3\libs file worked, I tried adding the glew files (glew32.dll, glew32.lib, GL\glew and GL\wglew.h) there, however, it doesn't seem to have made a difference. And this I googled this before asking. Doesn't seem to be much.
