What about changing that line to:
os.write(fd, b'\\relax')
it should work for both versions, no?
r'\relax' just says not to escape the backslash char, so
r'\relax' is the same as '\\relax'.
Both python 2 and 3 accept the _b_ prefix for representing byte, it just
happens that for python 2 this a no-op.
