u'whatever' is not valid syntax for 3.x. In any case, with IDLE on my WinXP 3.1.2 system, all string literals are green, with or without a leading b. If you want this to stay open, cut and paste the opening header like Python 3.1.2 (r312:79149, Mar 21 2010, 00:41:52) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 and some actual code and specify what you see and what you think is wrong.
