How to convert an integer to a string in any base?

Question

Python allows easy creation of an integer from a string of a given base via

int(str, base). 

I want to perform the inverse: creati

Answer 1

def dec_to_radix(input, to_radix=2, power=None):
    if not isinstance(input, int):
        raise TypeError('Not an integer!')
    elif power is None:
        power = 1

    if input == 0:
        return 0
    else:
        remainder = input % to_radix**power
        digit = str(int(remainder/to_radix**(power-1)))
        return int(str(dec_to_radix(input-remainder, to_radix, power+1)) + digit)

def radix_to_dec(input, from_radix):
    if not isinstance(input, int):
        raise TypeError('Not an integer!')
    return sum(int(digit)*(from_radix**power) for power, digit in enumerate(str(input)[::-1]))

def radix_to_radix(input, from_radix=10, to_radix=2, power=None):
    dec = radix_to_dec(input, from_radix)
    return dec_to_radix(dec, to_radix, power)
