As it stands right now, bin() only shows the minimum number of bits to
display the number, however I think having a "Total Bits" argument would
be very, very useful for bin().
bin(value, [Total bits to display])
"Total bits to display" is an integer.
Here's how it should work:
>>> bin(0x7F)
'0b1111111'
>>> #Note, there are seven 1's there to represent the value 127
>>> bin(0x7F, 8)
'0b01111111'
>>> #Now there are eight bits displayed.
>>> bin(0xFF, 16)
'0b0000000011111111'
>>> #This makes it a lot easier to read and compare binary numbers! |
