That syntax goes the other way- from a string representing a number in
the given base into an integer (which doesn't have a base, although
it's stored in base 2).

You get the binary by doing bin(x), where x is an integer.

>>> bin(12)
'0b1100'

If you want to go from a string in base-10 to a string in base-2, you
have to do the conversion to integer first.

>>> bin(int('5',10))
'0b101'

Although you don't need to specify the 10 because that's the default.
>>> bin(int('5'))
'0b101'
