There is no such thing as an 'integers with base designator "0b"'.
I think are confusing the type that python uses for an integer with the
syntax that python allows you to use to specify an integer in your source code.
Python considers the follow the same
5
0o5
0x5
0b101

You can write such a type or just mask off the results of the computation
with the python integer type.
Your example -5 in 4 bits is this
>>> print( bin( -5 & 0b1111 ) )
0x1011
Exactly what you want?
