Log to the base 2 in python

Question

How should I compute log to the base two in python. Eg. I have this equation where I am using log base 2

import math
e = -(t/T)* math.log((t/T)[, 2])

def lg(x, tol=1e-13):
  res = 0.0

  # Integer part
  while x<1:
    res -= 1
    x *= 2
  while x>=2:
    res += 1
    x /= 2

  # Fractional part
  fp = 1.0
  while fp>=tol:
    fp /= 2
    x *= x
    if x >= 2:
        x /= 2
        res += fp

  return res
