How not to "crutch" to represent an integer (int) as a ternary string in Python?

Question

Python

There is an integer x, and it needs to be converted to a ternary string.

For example,

to_ternary (6)
# "20"

to_ternary (8)
# "22"

to_ternary (15)
# "120"

Is it possible to crank using standard Python functions/libraries? Like, for example, converting to a binary string:

bin (8)
# "0b1000"

bin (43)
# "0b101011"

Attention, you need to convert the decimal number to the ternary one, and not vice versa

Answer 1

int(str(num), 3)
