As long as the resulting object is immutable, I don't see
how this is a problem.

It doesn't seem to be any worse than converting between
e.g. a Python int and a C int, where there could be a
change of internal representation, but the conceptual
value remains the same.

Also you've been doing this all along with char* -> bytes
without complaining that a copy is being made. I don't
see a reason to start worrying about it now.
