Right. I see this is BS, maybe lots of these lines exist already, one could come up with (sorted by obfuscation, descending): def int2bin(num, width=32): # return ''.join( [chr(ord('0')+bool(1<<k & num))for k in range(width-1,-1,-1)] ) # return ''.join( map(lambda k:str(num>>k & 1),range(width-1, -1, -1)) ) # return ''.join( [str(num>>k & 1)for k in range(width-1, -1, -1)] ) But after some thinking, I thought about discussing this one: def i2b(num, width): return str(1 & num>>(width-1)) + i2b(num, width-1) if width else '' which is the shortest ;-) (Sorry but I'm more or less a newbie, maybe this is BS too ...)
