Or a new string formatting character bin() == "%b" % (i), but perhaps
not, here is no precedent for this not even in C. Like you say a new
method in a lib somewhere is more reasonable.

I've always wondered why there isn't a bin() built-in in Python.
Built-in functions already exist for converting ints to hexadecimal and
octal strings and vice versa i.e.
Perhaps a "format_base" function in the strings library, that takes an
int and a number base? (The name is horrid, I know.)
