Why not use _q_lookup to instantiate a class that takes the number
in its __init__ and defines binary/octal/decimal/hexadecimal as
functions?

class NumberRepr:
   _q_exports = ['binary', 'octal', 'decimal', 'hexadecimal']

   def __init__(self, n):
      self.n = n

   def binary(self, request):
      return "n is %s in binary" % (binary_string(n),)

etc.

If you need to hang stuff off of binary/octal etc., e.g.

/numbers/15/binary/not

then I'm not sure ;).
