The problem here seems to be that this isn't currently well documented. I've got no objection to using the buffer attribute...

Ok, then it seems you missed the obvious way: Open the file in binary mode ('rb' or 'wb') if you want to read or write bytes. It has always been that way in Python; the only change now is that it matters on systems other than Windows.
