It probably won't fly but why not bytes.frombyte? There's no such thing as a byte type in Python, only bytes, so I want to argue it makes it clear the argument is a number in the range 0..255 and the result is a bytes object containing this single byte value.
Tentatively, Arnaud PS. But truly I feel like this method is superfluous.
