Binary to ASCII in Python -

i'm trying decode binary located in .txt file, i'm stuck. don't see possibilities can go around.

def code(): testestest   ascii = {'01000001':'a', ...}   binary = {'a':'01000001', ...}   print (ascii, binary)    def encode():     pass    def decode(code,n):     f = open(code, mode='rb') # open file filename <code>     while true:       chunk = f.read(n)           # read n characters @ time open file       if chunk == '':             # 1 way check end of file in python          break       if chunk != '\n':         # process it????         pass 

how can take binary in .txt file , output ascii?

from example, input looks string of binary formatted number.

if so, don't need dictionnary that:

def byte_to_char(input):      return chr(int(input, base=2))

using data gave in comments, have split binary string bytes.

input ='01010100011010000110100101110011001000000110100101110011001000000110101001110101011100110111010000100000011000010010000001110100011001010111001101110100001000000011000100110000001110100011000100110000' length = 8 input_l = [input[i:i+length] in range(0,len(input),length)] 

and then, per byte, convert char:

input_c = [chr(int(c,base=2)) c in input_l] print ''.join(input_c) 

putting together:

def string_decode(input, length=8):     input_l = [input[i:i+length] in range(0,len(input),length)]     return ''.join([chr(int(c,base=2)) c in input_l])  decode(input) >'this test 10:10'
