Example on how to generate binary numbers in Python.

gen_bin_num.py

from random import randint
from bitstring import BitArray

# `bin()` function explained
bin30 = bin(30)
print("--> bin30:\n", bin30)
print("--> type(bin30):\n", type(bin30))
print("--> int(bin30, 2):\n", int(bin30, 2))

# generate a long list of random binary numbers
a = [bin(randint(0, 5000)) for _ in range(0, 10)]
print("--> a:\n", a)
print("--> type(a):\n", type(a))

# ================================================
# Alternative: use `BitArray` module (pip install bitstring).
b = BitArray([randint(0, 1) for _ in range(50)])
print("--> b:", b)
