I create function that want to see result of example 128.digit() = [1,1,0,0,0,0,..] like this (not sure)

but when I write in python, it has function .digit() too but it has different use and it can't use with integer number (it use to check digit, right?)

how can i write fucntion .digit() just like in sage into my python program?

thank you for your kindness

I'm not sure what [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...] has to do with 128, but if you want the base 10 digits:

>>> a = 1234
>>> [int(d) for d in str(a)]
>>> [1, 2, 3, 4]

For base 2 instead of base 10, try Google. I found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/187273/base-2-binary-representation-using-python, for example.

There's also the .digits() method, which has a base option (e.g. 1234.digits(2) = [0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1]).

I thought the question was how to do it in Python, not in Sage.

Ah, you're right. I got it backwards.
