Description (last modified by davidsarah)

setup.py and bin/tahoe-script.template currently use the following idiom near the top of each file to prevent them from producing even-more-confusing-than-necessary syntax errors when run in a Python 3.x interpreter:

u"Tahoe-LAFS does not run under Python 3. Please use a version of Python between 2.5 and 2.7.x inclusive."

This will break in Python 3.3 due to PEP 414, which adds the u"..." string syntax.
