Going from string to Base Ten in python

Question

How do I convert ("1,0,1,1,0,0,1,0") to base ten. I keep finding answers for converting lists to base ten but not for when I already have this string

Answer 1

Alternatively you can slice:

int(string[::2], 2)

Answer 2

You can use str.replace and int function :

>>> s="1,0,1,1,0,0,1,0"
>>> int(s.replace(',',''),2)
