Yes, you are right. The OP looks for a
'binary (bit) representation ..."
I admit I didn't find out how to format
a value into a bit string in Python.
In Perl, this would be a no-brainer:
$var = 199;
$str = sprintf "%0*b", 32, $var;
and str would contain 00000000000000000000000011000111
on a intel machine.
But where is the %b in Python?
