Binary file

I thought you were starting with b'B\xda\xed\xc5'. That doesn't yield those binary strings.

If you're starting with 01011111 00011000 01100101 00111010, then yes you can just smash them together.

>>> binary_string = "01011111 00011000 01100101 00111010"
>>> int(binary_string.replace(" ", ""), 2)
