Start by handling a single number:

py> def display_number(n):
...     print(n, bin(n))
...
py> display_number(15)
15 0b1111

Now do a loop, displaying each number:

py> for i in range(1, 11):
...     display_number(i)
...
1 0b1
2 0b10
3 0b11
4 0b100
5 0b101
6 0b110
7 0b111
8 0b1000
9 0b1001
10 0b1010



Does that help?
