While it's interesting to know we can go from binary to int, the OP
wanted the other way.
I think it will be a nice enhancement to add to % operator (like %x,
something for binary, %b or %t say) or something like a.__bin__ as
suggested by the OP.
FWIW, gdb has a /t format to print in binary.
(gdb) p 100
$28 = 100
(gdb) p /x 100
$29 = 0x64
(gdb) p /t 100
$30 = 1100100
(gdb)
