I'm considering to write some pure python pdf lib from from scratch, but found there is no built-in formating for bytes.

Bytes do, but you should use text str for general text manipulation.

It's very frustrating to use some inefficient surogate funtion, which is gong to be called thousands times.

This sentence has 3 spelling mistakes, 2 of which would be caught with a mail client like Thunderbird (free) that has spelling correction. Please consider switching.
