Or you can user the radiusplugin from Ralf

I am trying to write an application that monitors traffic over an OpenVPN

However, after I telnet in, and enter "bytecount 1" (for 1 second
updates), I find that the real-time bytecount updates are not really every
second. They seem to be initially, but soon slow down (to an update every
5-10 seconds).
Sorry for avoiding a direct answer to the question (David has already
addressed that quite well), but I just wanted to tell you that you can get
byte counts from OpenVPN's status file, ie the one you specify with "--
status". I used that in the past to monitor clients and traffic (it was
actually a Munin plugin that read the file and collected the data).
That said, it might not suit your requirements, but I thought I mentioned that
just in case.
