convert integer to a string in a given numeric base in python
- by Mark Borgerding
Python allows easy creation of an integer from a string of a given base via
int(str,base).
I want to perform the inverse: creation of a string from an integer.
i.e. I want some function int2base(num,base)
such that:
int( int2base( X , BASE ) , BASE ) == X
the function name/argument order is unimportant
For any number X and base BASE that int() will accept.
This is an easy function to write -- in fact easier than describing it in this question -- however, I feel like I must be missing something.
I know about the functions bin,oct,hex; but I cannot use them for a few reasons:
Those functions are not available on older versions of python with which I need compatibility (2.2)
I want a general solution that can be called the same way for different bases
I want to allow bases other than 2,8,16
