python 写二进制_写二进制整数或字符串在Python文件

I have a string (it could be an integer too) in Python and I want to write it to a file. It contains only ones and zeros I want that pattern of ones and zeros to be written to a file. I want to write the binary directly because I need to store a lot of data, but only certain values. I see no need to take up the space of using eight bit per value when I only need three.

For instance. Let's say I were to write the binary string "01100010" to a file. If I opened it in a text editor it would say b (01100010 is the ascii code for b). Do not be confused though. I do not want to write ascii codes, the example was just to indicate that I want to directly write bytes to the file.

Clarification:

My string looks something like this:

binary_string = "001011010110000010010"

It is not made of of the binary codes for numbers or characters. It contains data relative only to my program.

Alright, after quite a bit more searching, I found an answer. I believe that the rest of you simply didn't understand (which was probably my fault, as I had to edit twice to make it clear). I found it here.

The answer was to split up each piece of data, convert them into a binary integer then put them in a binary array. After that, you can use the array's tofile() method to write to a file.

from array import *

bin_array = array('B')

bin_array.append(int('011',2))

bin_array.append(int('010',2))

bin_array.append(int('110',2))

f = file('binary.mydata','wb')

bin_array.tofile(f)

f.close()
