All,

I want define an int(987654321) <=> [9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1] convertor, if the length of int number < 9, for example 10 the list will be [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0] , and if the length > 9, for example 9987654321 , the list will be [9, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

>>> i
987654321
>>> l
[9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
>>> z = [0]*(len(unit) - len(str(l)))
>>> z.extend(l)
>>> l = z
>>> unit
[100000000, 10000000, 1000000, 100000, 10000, 1000, 100, 10, 1]

>>> sum([x*y for x,y in zip(l, unit)])
987654321
>>> int("".join([str(x) for x in l]))
987654321


>>> l1 = [int(x) for x in str(i)]
>>> z = [0]*(len(unit) - len(str(l1)))
>>> z.extend(l1)
>>> l1 = z
>>> l1
[9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

>>> a = [i//x for x in unit]
>>> b = [a[x] - a[x-1]*10 for x in range(9)]
>>> if len(b) = len(a): b[0] = a[0]  # fix the a[-1] issue
>>> b 
[9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

I tested above solutions but found those may not faster/simple enough than I want and may have a length related bug inside, anyone may share me a better solution for this kinds convertion?

Thanks!
