Simple text to binary python script

[gmills13]

Hi all,

super new to python and working on a text to binary convertor using a dictionary, and wanting to understand how I get back to text after I have the binary output.

I currently have this;

def to_text_code(text):
    code = {'a':'01100001','b':'01100010','c':'01100011}

    text_code = ""

    for x in text:
        text_code += code[x.lower()]
    return text_code

text = input("Text to Binary Converter: ")
print(to_text_code(text))

It seems to work for the letters that I have placed in my dictionary and I can have multiple entries. However, when reversing the dictionary to go from binary back to text I'm having lots of issues.

Any help would be great,

thanks,

G
