Python 3.x was a major release that endeavoured to clean up a number
of lingering issues with the language, the upshot being that it isn't
entirely backwards compatible with past versions. Unicode became the
default string type, which is what is causing the error here: the u-
prefix is no longer required (or even allowed).

However, Py3.x _does_ come with a handy tool for automatically
converting Python 2.x code to 3.x, called 2to3. One of the things it
should do is convert Py2.x unicode values into their correct
representation in 3.x.

With any luck, it should be able to convert the code you're using
entirely. Let us know how it goes.
