我很好奇范围内单个int的各种方法的性能[0, 255]，因此我决定进行一些时序测试。
基于下面的定时，和从从尝试许多不同的值和结构中观察到的总的趋势，struct.pack似乎是最快，其次int.to_bytes，bytes和与str.encode（勿庸置疑）是最慢的。请注意，结果显示出比所显示的更多的变化，int.to_bytes并且bytes有时在测试过程中切换速度排名，但struct.pack显然是最快的。
Windows上CPython 3.7的结果：
Testing with 63:
bytes_: 100000 loops, best of 5: 3.3 usec per loop
to_bytes: 100000 loops, best of 5: 2.72 usec per loop
struct_pack: 100000 loops, best of 5: 2.32 usec per loop
chr_encode: 50000 loops, best of 5: 3.66 usec per loop
