Alternatively, a little more compactly (though I feel guilty about the -1 ;-):
>>> def number_in_base(x, N=10, digits='0123456789ABCDEF'):
... return '-'[:x<0] + ''.join(list(iter(lambda qr=[abs(x),-1]: (qr[0] or qr[1]<0) and (
... qr.__setslice__(0,2,divmod(qr[0],N)) or digits[qr[1]]), False))[::-1])
...
>>> number_in_base(126,2,'01')
'1111110'
>>> number_in_base( 126, 8,'01234567')
'176'
>>> number_in_base(-126, 8,'01234567')
'-176'
>>> number_in_base( -1, 2,'01234567')
'-1'
>>> number_in_base( 1, 2,'01234567')
'1'
>>> number_in_base( 0, 2,'01234567')
'0'
