备选方案总结:

n=42
assert  "-101010" == format(-n, 'b')
assert  "-101010" == "{0:b}".format(-n)
assert  "-101010" == (lambda x: x >= 0 and str(bin(x))[2:] or "-" + str(bin(x))[3:])(-n)
assert "0b101010" == bin(n)
assert   "101010" == bin(n)[2:]   # But this won't work for negative numbers.

我觉得Martijn Pieter的评论值得强调作为答案:

binary_string = format(value, '0{}b'.format(width))

对我来说，它既清晰又万能。

有点类似的解决方案

def to_bin(dec):
    flag = True
    bin_str = ''
    while flag:
        remainder = dec % 2
        quotient = dec / 2
        if quotient == 0:
            flag = False
        bin_str += str(remainder)
        dec = quotient
    bin_str = bin_str[::-1] # reverse the string
    return bin_str 

这是针对python3的，它保持前导0 !

print(format(0, '08b'))

计算二进制数:

print("Binary is {0:>08b}".format(16))

计算一个数的十六进制小数:

print("Hexa Decimal is {0:>0x}".format(15))

计算所有的二进制直到16::

for i in range(17):
   print("{0:>2}: binary is {0:>08b}".format(i))

要计算十六进制小数，直到17

 for i in range(17):
    print("{0:>2}: Hexa Decimal is {0:>0x}".format(i))
##as 2 digit is enogh for hexa decimal representation of a number

这是另一种使用常规数学的方法，没有循环，只有递归。(琐碎情况0不返回任何内容)。

def toBin(num):
  if num == 0:
    return ""
  return toBin(num//2) + str(num%2)

print ([(toBin(i)) for i in range(10)])

['', '1', '10', '11', '100', '101', '110', '111', '1000', '1001']
