Converting Python OrderedDict To Bencoded Binary File

This post polishes up the two previous posts.  The idea here was to be able to open a torrent file and make a few modifications.  I had a torrent go down on me and hadn't download all the files.  I thought I would try removing the tracker and 'private' status and try to connect via DHT.  So far this hasn't been successful.  I think other peers would need to also enable DHT for their torrents :/ Regardless, it seemed natural to be able to create a file from the python ordered dictionry.  The python ordered dictionary is described in this post

from collections import OrderedDict
...
def PyToBEncode(pydict):
    bytestringlist = []
    def writed(dic):
        bytestringlist.append(b'd')
        for key in dic:
            strlen = len(key)
            bytestringlist.append(bytes(str(strlen), encoding='utf8'))
            bytestringlist.append(b':')
            bytestringlist.append(bytes(key))
            value = dic[key]
            if type(value) == type(OrderedDict()):
                writed(value)
            elif type(value) == type([]):
                writel(value)
            elif type(value) == type(int()):
                writei(value)
            else:
                bytestringlist.append(bytes(str(len(value)), encoding='utf8'))
                bytestringlist.append(b':')
                bytestringlist.append(bytes(value))
        bytestringlist.append(b'e')   
    def writel(lis):
        bytestringlist.append(b'l')
        for el in lis:
            if type(el) == type(OrderedDict()):
                writed(el)
            elif type(el) == type([]):
                writel(el)
            elif type(el) == type(int()):
                writei(el)
            else:
                bytestringlist.append(bytes(str(len(el)), encoding='utf8'))
                bytestringlist.append(b':')
                bytestringlist.append(bytes(el))
        bytestringlist.append(b'e')
    def writei(num):
        bytestringlist.append(b'i')
        bytestringlist.append(bytes(str(num), encoding='utf8'))
        bytestringlist.append(b'e')
    writed(pydict)
    return b''.join(bytestringlist)
   
Here is a graphic of creating a new torrent.  I am still waiting to make a connection.
