Generating gray codes.

else:
for i in range (k-1,-1,-1):
char='1'+g[i]
g.append(char)
for i in range (k-1,-1,-1):
g[i]='0'+g[i]
gray_code_recurse (g,n-1)

gray_code_recurse(g,n-1)

Generating Gray codes is easier than you think. The secret is that the Nth gray code is in the bits of N^(N>>1)
So:
def main():
n=int(raw_input())
for i in range(0, 1<<n):
gray=i^(i>>1)
print "{0:0{1}b}".format(gray,n),
main()
