IDLE 3.1.2 doesn't highlight b"" syntax, instead highlights u"".

Tested with IDLE (x86) 3.1.2 and Windows XP SP2.

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.

The letter b should also be green, while it shows the letter u from u'string' in green, which it shouldn't as it's not valid anymore.

Tested in IDLE with following version of Python:

Python 3.1.2 (r312:79149, Mar 20 2010, 22:55:39) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

Attaching patch against current py3k branch.

I simply replaced the occurrences of [rRuU] in the relevant regexps to [rRbB].

I applied the patch against the latest version in the repository and it works correctly.
