To write one byte to disk, Python2 may use 'chr' type.
In Python3, conversion to 'byte' type is required.

Looks like it works, but I'm not enough of a python expert to know if
there is a more Pythonic elegant approach.

If someone else picks it up before my next NBD pull request,

Well, there's no way around the fact that bytes in Python 3 are very
different from bytes in Python 2 (just another name for a string).

What I'd recommend here is to not base the type on the exception, but
choose it depending on the Python version.  Something like:

if sys.version_info.major == 2:
   f.write(chr(toggled))
else:
   f.write(bytes([toggled])]

This is cheaper than raising/catching exceptions, it's self documenting,
and follows the pattern on other tests.

- Cleber.

Thank you very much, Cleber.
I would like to write it down as that is in iotests.py :
if sys.version_info.major >= 3:
