I have value of the type bytes
that need to be converted to BIT STRING
bytes_val = (b'\x80\x00', 14)
the bytes in index zero need to be converted to bit string of length as indicated by the second element (14 in this case) and formatted as groups of 8 bits like below.
expected output => '10000000 000000'B
Another example
bytes_val2 = (b'\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 45) #=> '11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11110000 00000'B
What about some combination of formatting (below with f-string but can be done otherwise), and slicing:
def bytes2binstr(b, n=None):
s = ' '.join(f'{x:08b}' for x in b)
return s if n is None else s[:n + n // 8 + (0 if n % 8 else -1)]
If I understood correctly (I am not sure what the B
at the end is supposed to mean), it passes your tests and a couple more:
func = bytes2binstr
args = (
(b'\x80\x00', None),
(b'\x80\x00', 14),
(b'\x0f\x00', 14),
(b'\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 16),
(b'\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 22),
(b'\x0f\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 45),
(b'\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 45),
)
for arg in args:
print(arg)
print(repr(func(*arg)))
# (b'\x80\x00', None)
# '10000000 00000000'
# (b'\x80\x00', 14)
# '10000000 000000'
# (b'\x0f\x00', 14)
# '00001111 000000'
# (b'\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 16)
# '11111111 11111111'
# (b'\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 22)
# '11111111 11111111 111111'
# (b'\x0f\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 45)
# '00001111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11110000 00000'
# (b'\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf0\x00', 45)
# '11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 11110000 00000'

objectb
binary specifier, with some additional formatting: 0
zero fill, 8
minimum length' '
as "separator"n
was not specified (set to None
), otherwise the result is cropped to n
+ the number of spaces that were added in-between the 8-character groups.In the solution above 8
is somewhat hard-coded.
If you want it to be a parameter, you may want to look into (possibly a variation of) @kederrac first answer using int.from_bytes()
.
This could look something like:
def bytes2binstr_frombytes(b, n=None, k=8):
s = '{x:0{m}b}'.format(m=len(b) * 8, x=int.from_bytes(b, byteorder='big'))[:n]
return ' '.join([s[i:i + k] for i in range(0, len(s), k)])
which gives the same output as above.
Speedwise, the int.from_bytes()
-based solution is also faster:
for i in range(2, 7):
n = 10 ** i
print(n)
b = b''.join([random.randint(0, 2 ** 8 - 1).to_bytes(1, 'big') for _ in range(n)])
for func in funcs:
print(func.__name__, funcs[0](b, n * 7) == func(b, n * 7))
%timeit func(b, n * 7)
