Python recursion function help
hello all

i am really stuck on how to write a recursive function dec2base(n, b) that returns the list of base b digits in the (decimal) number n.

Examples:
dec2base(120, 10) => [1,2,0] (1x102 + 2x101 + 0x100)
dec2base(273, 8) => [4,2,1] (4x82 + 2x81 + 1x80)
dec2base(61, 2) => [1,1,1,1,0,1] (1x25 +1x24 +1x23 + 1x22 + 0x21 + 1x20)

could someone please help me to get started
