I want to be able to get a file(not just text files, I mean video files, word files, exe files etc...) and read its data in python. Then , I want to convert it to pure binary (1s and 0s) and then be able to decode that too.
I have tried just reading the file with
with open('a.mp4', 'rb') as f:
ab = f.read()
and it seemed to work, but my function of
def toBinary(a):
l,m=[],[]
for i in a:
l.append(ord(i))
for i in l:
m.append(int(bin(i)[2:]))
return m
does not work on it, because I think ord() only works on text??? Not really sure
