well i know that there are a lot of people who do not undestand binary numbers yet so this is a code for the people who do not have the time to sit down and calculate or to learn binary counting.

Build in. To convert binary to decimal you may also try this one:

>>> int("101",2)
5

it also converts from other radixes like 16 (hexadecimal):

>>> int("f", 16)
15
