Probably nothing. I'm not sure why we don't have an override for this. Perhaps 
because OFTBinary is rather exotic and nobody strongly needed it before. 
Perhaps some (past) Python2/3 dilemna too

You can use f.SetFieldBinaryFromHexString(field_name,
												  binary_as_hex_string)

where e.g. binary_as_hex_string = binascii.hexlify(b'hello world')
