[split] why can't i create a list of numbers (ints) with random.randrange()

This does not work to remove leading zeros from a binary string.

# probably not good if it starts with zero
if rbs[0] == '0':
    binary = rbs[1:]
else:
    binary = rbs

It works for "011001" but not "0011001". For a more generic solution use lstrip("0"). Use int(binary_string, 2) to convert a binary string to a binary number.
