The gmpy module can convert numbers to binary strings:
import gmpy
s = """
Yes, well, of course that's just the sort of
blinkered philistine pig ignorance I've come
to expect from you non-creative garbage.
"""
ss = ''
for c in s:
sb = gmpy.digits(ord(c),2) #convert to binary string
sb = '0'*(8-len(sb)) + sb #add leading 0's
ss += sb
print ss
