Changing decimal to binary-Recursion Python Intermediate

Question

I wrote this code which doesn't work.
My idea is to print all the remainders as a list then reverse the list.....
The base case is when num==1, return 1....
Can someone please help me?

num=int(input())

def convert(num):
if num==1:
return 1
else:
while num % 2 >= 0:
return (num % 2)

print(list(convert.reverse(num)))

Answer 1

The wile loop wouldnt work
It would exit the function right away with the return statement

Lets pretend it wouldnt have
That wile loop would result in an infinite loop

Answer 2

num=int(input( ))

def convert(num,lst=[]):
if num==0:
return l
else:
lst.append(num%2)
return convert(num//2,lst)
