I'm kinda lost here about what sort of numbers I get, its class 'int'.

That was quite interesting

text = b'This is a string'
text2 = 'This is a string'

res = ' '.join(format(ord(i), 'b') for i in text2)
k= res.split(' ')
for i in k:
   w= k.index(i)
   k[w]= int(i)

s = k[0]
print(type(s))
print(f'{s!r}')

l = text[0]

print(f'{l!r}')

# output I've got:

<class 'int'>
