On the heels of Armin's blog post about the troubles of making the same codebase run on both Python 2 and Python 3, I have a concrete suggestion.

It would help a lot for code that straddles both Py2 and Py3 to be able to make use of u'' literals.

Helpful or not helpful, I think that ship has sailed. The earliest it could see the light of day is 3.3, which would leave people trying to support 3.1 and 3.2 in a bind.
