Oooh fun!
>>> l = [1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1]
>>> list(int(''.join(str(i) for i in l),2).to_bytes(len(l)//8,'big'))
[177, 105, 117]
Convert it into a string, convert the string to an integer
(interpreting it as binary), then convert the integer into a series of
bytes, and interpret those bytes as a list of integers.
Example works in Python 3. For Python 2, you'll need ord() to get the
integers at the end.
I'm not sure how elegant this is, but it's a fun trick to play with :)
Next idea please! I love these kinds of threads.
