It is very clear question, but I've done a lot of research and didn't find answer. StackOverflow question as this or this are about jpeg converting. This is about python build-in library.
So, how to convert sRGB to AdobeRGB and vice versa??? I mean a mathematical function, that convert 3 bytes to 3 bytes. No jpges, and so on. Just mathematical function to convert colors using pen and paper.
Yes, photoshop does it in fact and there are some strange online calculators, that show another result.
Why can't I find a simple formula in google?
I got to thinking, that I don't know something and there is no straight answer to my question.
I will be very grateful if someone can describe, what's going on or give formula.
UPDATE
Large array of results for integer rgbs will be also correct answer.

Some monitors display a wider color gamut than others. SRGB and Adobe RGB include an equal amount of colors, but the range of sRGB is narrower. Adobe RGB is said to have a 35% wider gamut of color than sRGB. Also, professional printers have preferences as to which color spaces they require.
To decode a sRGB encoded color, raise the rgb values to the power of 2.2 . Once you have decoded the color, you are now free to add, subtract, multiply, and divide it. By raising the color values to the power of 2.2 , you're converting them from sRGB to RGB or linear color space.
Convert means the Adobe RGB color numbers are changed or remapped to maintain the same colors in the smaller target space, sRGB.
The first thing you need to do is open your image in Photoshop. Then, go to the 'Edit' menu and choose 'Convert to Profile'. In the dialog box that appears, make sure that the 'destination' profile is set to RGB. You can also choose whether or not you want to embed the profile in the image.
Here is Python code to implement the formulas. As noted in the comments, you convert from one color space to XYZ (normalized) then from XYZ to the new color space. I'm not 100% happy with the accuracy of these functions, but it should get you in the ballpark. As I come up with refinements I'll edit them into the answer.

It's a little complicated ones, so please read spec sheets if you need formulas.

For testing, check color conversion settings.
Software specific conversion may occur.
(mainly if out of range, but in some settings, not out of range values also be affected)
ex.
Photoshop color settings

Using XYZ is more flexible concerning about converting to other color spaces than direct (between sRGB and Adobe RGB) conversion.
RGB color space
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_space
Conversion between sRGB and XYZ contains non-linear operation.
So, direct conversion between sRGB and Adobe RGB is difficult.
See Specification of the transformation section in wiki of sRGB. (The reverse transformation part.)
from spec sheet
If R, G, B are less than or equal to 0.04045
RL = R/12.92
...
If R, G, B are greater than 0.04045
RL = ((R + 0.055)/1.055)^2.4
...
RL for linear(XYZ(D65)), R for sRGB in this formula.
Green and blue also have same formulas.
Not preventing direct conversion between other color spaces but,
conversion between Adobe RGB and XYZ also contains non-linear operation.
(Rounding to int.)
More precisely, it is Adobe RGB(in float values) to Adobe RGB(in int values) conversion.
NB: Intended white points for them are different.
(as there purpose are different. sRGB for display, Adobe RGB for photos.)
And conversion matrix in spec sheets are for D65(sRGB) and D50 or D65(Adobe RGB).
We should think about 3 things.
RGB value itself, value range (and correctness of color) of display, and viewing environment.
Ex.
1.Conversion matrix (and other formulas): RGB value
2.Display white and black point: value range of display
3.Ambient illumination chromaticity: viewing environment
Only 1(matrix and formulas) has effects in converting values,
but 2 and 3 also important because they decide how we can see RGB values.
NB: with ICC profile, if 2(display settings) is stored, it counts on.
If display range is narrow than RGB value can represent, they will be clipped (while displaying).
If range is not proper, white or black maybe seen as gray, etc.
If ambient illumination chromaticity is different from the one conversion matrix and formulas are intended for, we will see different colors.
Conversion matrix
(This is important, as having effects on RGB converted values.)
from sRGB (Showing conversion matrix is for D65.)
- Conversion from XYZ (D65) to linear sRGB values
In Adobe RGB(1998) spec sheet, two types of conversion matrices (and formulas) exist.
4.3.1~ (without ICC): D65
4.3.6~ (with ICC): D50
from Adobe RGB(1998)
(for images with ICC profile etc.)
4.3.6 Encoding ICC PCS Version 2 values in 24-bit Adobe RGB (1998)
4.3.6.1 Converting XYZ to RGB tristimulus values
NOTE The above matrix is derived from the color space chromaticity coordinates, and a chromatic adaptation to CIE Standard Illuminant D50The XYZ tristimulus values 0.0000, 0.0000, 0.0000 in the Profile Connection Space (XYZ PCS v2) shall correspond to the reference display black point. The XYZ tristimulus values 0.9642, 1.000, 0.8249 shall correspond to the reference display white point.
NB: caution white is not (1.0, 1.0, 1.0).
from Adobe RGB(1998)
(for images without ICC profile etc.)
This maybe good for calc (and white point for sRGB is pre-known(and it is D65)).
4.3.1 The Adobe RGB(1998) Color Space And Color Image Encoding
Color space chromaticities and luminance
Red x=0.6400, y=0.3300
Green x=0.2100, y=0.7100
Blue x=0.1500, y=0.0600
White x=0.3127, y=0.3290
The color space white point shall be equal to the reference display white point.
The color space black point shall be equal to the reference display black point.
NB:White (x=0.3127, y=0.3290) corresponds to D65.
(See section 4.2.1 Reference Display White Point.)
Ambient illumination chromaticity
(Do not confuse with display white point. This has effects on color correctness we can see.)
from Adobe RGB (draft)
3.1.4 Reference Viewing Conditions
4. Reference Ambient White Point x = 0.3457, y = 0.3585 (D50)
from Adobe RGB (1998)
Annex B.
Ambient Illumination Chromaticity: ... The ambient illumination chromaticity may be D65 to D50 ...
Display white point
(Do not confuse with ambient illumination chromaticity. This is about range which display can show up.)
from sRGB
- Reference display white point chromaticity: x = 0.3127, y = 0.3290, z = 0.3583 (equivalent to the chromaticity of CIE Illuminant D65).
from Adobe RGB (1998)
4.2.1 Reference Display White Point
NOTE The chromaticity coordinates correspond to CIE Standard Illuminant D65.
from Adobe RGB (1998) (for information.)
Annex A. The Adobe RGB(1998) ICC profile from Adobe Systems is an instance of the Adobe RGB(1998) color image encoding.
from sRGB
- Chromatic adaptation and converting to the ICC XYZ PCS
Example: If D65 is selected as the sRGB adapted white, the chro matic adaptation transform will go from D65 to D50, the resulting D50 values will be encoded in the mediaWhitePoint tag
...
However, if D50 were selected as the sRGB adapted white, chromatic adaptation would not be necessary
...
IEC 61966-2-1 does not specify the colorimetry of the sRGB reference display adapted white point.
(NB: sRGB is defined in IEC 61966-2-1)
This means it is not per-defined which white(D65 etc) is used for displaying sRGB, so store it in ICC profile.
