I'm trying to make a simple compressor (I think the algorithm is done) but when trying to get read the bytes from a file and converting them to binary i'm not able to do it.
I have a BitArray that should be referring to a file 'test.png'
b = BitArray(bytes=open('test.png', 'rb').read())
And when I print b I get:
0x89504e470d0a1a0a0000000d494844520000031000000369080200000014b648a3000000017352474200aece1ce90000000467414d410000b18f0bfc6105000000097048597300000ec300000ec301c76fa86400008e9149444154785eeddd07781445e3c771ae25744215044445b0e3abd81b8205ebabd87dedbdf7de...
I'm trying to get the binary value as following:
b = bin(int(str(b), 16))
print(b)
But I get the following error:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 16
I'm wondering if this is because the number is very large?
Thanks in advance!
