Or, since this is Python, why be frustrated over imperfect command
output when you can write something that gives whatever format you
like best? Long ago the old Unix od used to give something like this,
and when I was learning Python writing it seemed like a good exercise:
$ bdump hello
> h e l l o . < ^J
20 3e 68 65 6c 6c 6f 2e 3c a
32 62 104 101 108 108 111 46 60 10
