While SVG isn't supported, EPS is... sort of. Be very careful going between windows and mac versions of Powerpoint.
While they both support EPS, they seem to do it differently and I have had to make emergency fixes to presentations
while at conferences because they were using Windows and I only had access to Linux and Macs at home.
Cheers!

No Powerpoint version I know supports SVG (or any vector graphics format useful in this case) and Matplotlib does not
export WMF graphics anymore. So the easiest way is to use PNGs, if you can live with raster graphics.
Alternatively, if you need vector graphics, you can export the Matplotlib plot as SVG and convert it to WMF or EMF using
Inkscape. This can be done in the command line like this:
"c:\Program Files\Inkscape-0.48\inkscape.exe" --without-gui --export-emf="output.emf" "input.svg"
