How do you express binary literals in Python?

Question

How do you express an integer as a binary number with Python literals?

I was easily able to find the answer for hex:

>>> 0x12AF
4783
>>         


        

Answer 1

Another good method to get an integer representation from binary is to use eval()

Like so:

def getInt(binNum = 0):
    return eval(eval('0b' + str(n)))

I guess this is a way to do it too. I hope this is a satisfactory answer :D
