Writing 2/3 compatible code that deals with bytes is difficult. For example:
Python 2.7.15 (default, Sep 12 2018, 15:19:18)
>>> bytes(5)
'5'
>>> b'1234'[0]
'1'
Python 3.7.3 (default, May 20 2019, 15:21:07)
>>> bytes(5)
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
>>> b'1234'[0]
49
Differences like those mean you can't really use the bytes type/class
or indexing of bytes objects in code that needs to be 2/3 compatible.
I tried writing a bytes class for 2.7, but gave up.
In anything dealing with bytes, trying to be compatible with 2 and 3
is a lot of work, and I usually don't bother.
