We could add __bytes__ to ObjectId to support bytes(oid) in Python 3. Currently this is not supported:

>>> bytes(ObjectId())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: cannot convert 'ObjectId' object to bytes

The implementation can just be an alias for the binary property:

class ObjectId(object):
...
    def __bytes__(self):
        return self.binary

This was requested in ~~PYTHON-1843~~.
