where is this guy getting his code tags from? They are inside the python tags.

I have some code that I am using to convert a file to bytes then those bytes to strings of 0's and 1's.

[code]with open(file, mode='rb') as file:
content = file.read()
b = bytearray(content)

for number in b:
    data = bin(number)[2:].zfill(8)
    print data[/code]

I get output like 10110100, 00000001, etc, etc as it should be.
I want to take those strings of bits I get in my output and convert them back to bytes, then write those bytes back to a new file.
I have tried with the following code:

[code]list = ('11111111', '11111110', '01101000', '00000000', '01101001', '00000000', '00001101', '00000000', '00001010', '00000000')
def writer(stuff):
    blob = struct.pack('!H', int(stuff, 2))
    with open('test.txt', "a+b") as file:
            file.write(blob)
for strings in list:
    writer(strings)[/code]

The original text file contains the word "hi" and that is all, but when I write the new file the output is "▒▒hi"
