I _slightly_ prefer rb"" to br"" but either would be great:-)
According to my local build, we already picked 'br':
Python 3.2a0 (py3k:81943, Jun 12 2010, 22:02:56) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
"\t"
'\t'
r"\t"
'\\t'
b"\t"
b'\t'
br"\t"
b'\\t'
I installed the system python3 to confirm that this isn't new:

br"\t"
b'\\t'
Cheers, Nick.
