<p>The builtins <code>to_bytes/from_bytes</code> with support for little and big endian conversion are also really nice if you need them.</p>

Any one doing real work in enterprises like trying to create tools for a cloud framework is still forced to work with Python 2. No one can say that frameworks for cloud and SDN are "legacy". They are new code and their developers chose to go with python 2; since basic and very important libraries like gevent and scapy (for packet parsing) could not be ported to python 3, despite various efforts.</p>
