This is what I have so far. I can take the string and convert each character into an integer, and create a list of the integers. Converting each integer into a hypothetical list such as [1,0,0,1,1,0,1,1] is where I'm stuck.
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
p.s I am trying to work in base 2.

def string_to_bits(string):
'''Return the list of bits that represents the input string.'''
one_string = string.replace(" ", "")
char_list = list(one_string)

new_list = []

for i in char_list:
num = ord(i)
new_list.append(num)
return new_list

You can utilize the struct.unpack() function to convert your string into integer numbers, and the bin() function to then convert each integer into binary:

from struct import unpack
s = b"Hello, world"
t = unpack('b' * len(s), s)
for i in t:
    print(bin(t))

Thank you for your reply, but the version of python I'm using doesn't allow me to use the bin() function.

What version are you using?
