body: <p>In python, how to convert a hex ASCII string to binary string?</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>01000001B8000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F202122232425262728292A2B2C2D2E2F303132333435362021222324</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Needs to be converted to a binary string. (<code>0A</code> need to be converted to <code>1010</code>, not to ASCII bit <code>1000001</code> which is <code>65</code>)</p>
  
  <p>edit : Changed "raw binary" in question to "raw internal binary" string for better clarity.</p>
