New description:

 [source:setup.py] and [source: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
 [http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0414/ PEP 414], which adds the
 {{{u"..."}}} string syntax.
