SyntaxError when using the Redis backend in Python 3.2

[sqlalchemy-bot]

Migrated issue, originally created by Jimmy Mabey (jmabey)

The RedisBackend uses the u"" syntax for Unicode strings, which was reintroduced in Python 3.3, so a SyntaxError is raised when used in Python 3.2 (and probably older 3.x versions as well).

It's on this line: https://bitbucket.org/zzzeek/dogpile.cache/src/d3c7df59a0f695a13a213e0503c66878233561a6/dogpile/cache/backends/redis.py?at=master#cl-108

a short pull request, or just upgrade to 3.3 as you probably should, whichever is easier.... thanks !

Cool, I will send you a pull request, probably tomorrow. Stuck with using 3.2 for now, unfortunately.
