Using CPython on my machine, doing a string to int conversion that
specific number took 200 times as long as doing a normal assignment.
That conversion took 4 microseconds.
Not significant if it's only done once. But it might be executed a
million times.
Honestly, why should it be executed a million times? Do you have a
million different 400 digit numbers as constants in your code? If so, I
suggest to store them in a database file accompanied with the code.
If there are few different only, then don't do the conversion a million
times. Convert them at module initialization and assign them to a global
variable.
