I'm working on a Python project that crypts something based on Vigenere Cipher. I'm developing an option to be able to cypher files, based on their binary. But actually, when I open a file's binary through:
fbi=list(open(route, "rb"))
I'm getting weird data like the one that follows, instead of "0" and "1", which is what I'm expecting to get.

I'm still a beginner at Python and actually this is the first time I'm trying to manipulate/edit binary so I probably have a lot to learn about still.
Could someone explain to me why I'm getting this? And how to get the 0's and 1's if possible? Thanks in advance,
