numpy.unpackbits
numpy.unpackbits(myarray, axis=None)
Unpacks elements of a uint8 array into a binary-valued output array.
Each element of myarray represents a bit-field that should be unpacked into a binary-valued output array. The shape of the output array is either 1-D (if axis is None) or the same shape as the input array with unpacking done along the axis specified.
Parameters:
myarray : ndarray, uint8 type
Input array.
axis : int, optional
The dimension over which bit-unpacking is done. None implies unpacking the flattened array.
Returns:
unpacked : ndarray, uint8 type
The elements are binary-valued (0 or 1).

Packs the elements of a binary-valued array into bits in a uint8 array.
Examples
a = np.array([[2], [7], [23]], dtype=np.uint8)
a
array([[ 2],
[ 7],
[23]], dtype=uint8)b = np.unpackbits(a, axis=1)
b
array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1],
[0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1]], dtype=uint8)
