<p dir="ltr">Bah, String handling in python is a complete mess. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In any case, we dropped support for 2 so we can remove the u prefixes. It seems that the Unicode syntax in python 3 was dropped in python 3.0 and reintroduced on 3.3. We were all using 3.5 to test. </p>
<p dir="ltr">To get you going again quickly, You can either revert the commit that made python 3 the default and use python 2, or open the python files runtests.py testlib.py and testutil.py and do a global search and replace for u' and drop the u. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I will fix it properly later tonight. </p>
