Profiling of a python function

Question

Do you have any idea of how can I make this function more time-efficient?

def c(n):
    word = 32
    #l = []
    c = 0
    for i in range(0, 2**word):
        #print(str(bin(i)))#.count('1')
        if str(bin(i)).count('1') == n:
            c = c + 1 
            print(c)

        if i == 2**28:
            print('6 %')
        if i == 2**29:
            print('12 %')
        if i == 2**30:
            print('25 %')
        if i == 2**31:
            print('50 %')
        if i == 2**32:
            print('100 %')
    return c

What I try to achieve is to calculate how many of numbers from 0 to 2**32 have n number of 1 in their binary representation.

Perhaps this is of interest: stackoverflow.com/questions/1851134/… — Lauritz V. Thaulow

You are counting how many 32-bit numbers have a given number of 1s. This number is the binomial coefficient 32 choose bits, and can be calculated with:

from math import factorial
print factorial(32) // (factorial(bits) * factorial(32-bits))

Where's clippy when you need him? "It looks like you're trying to calculate the binomial coefficient..."
