[Tutor] convert ascii to binary

[Aaron Pilgrim]

Hello,
I am trying to write a small program that converts ascii to binary.

I tried using the python reference library section 18.8 but had
trouble understanding how to make it work.

 Here is the code I am currently trying to use:

def main():     
        import binascii
        myWord = input("Enter the word to convert..")   
        #convert text to ascii
        for ch in myWord:
                print(ord(ch))          
                #convert ascii to binary
                binascii.a2b_uu(ord(ch))

main()

Thank you for any help you can provide
