In Python 2, this is the printed representation of a bytestring.

In Python 3, this is the printed representation of the *same* bytestring.

I'm expecting the python 2 result, just the ip address.

That is exactly what you got.

How can I get
python 3 just to give the address, and not include  b'      '  ?

These are not part of the bytestring, just how it is printed.

You need to read something about the switch from byte strings to unicode strings as the 'string' class. But I don't know specifically what to recommend.
