converting to a binary number?

[John Salerno]

I'm having some trouble finding a function that converts numbers
(whether integer, hex, whatever) to its binary representation. Is there one?

Thanks.

Get the Gnu Multiple Precision library for Python module (Google GMPY).

Help on built-in function digits:
digits(...)
digits(x[,base]): returns Python string representing x in the
given base (2 to 36, default 10 if omitted or 0); leading '-'
present if x<0, but no leading '+' if x>=0. x must be an mpz,
or else gets coerced into one.
