I opened bpython and pasted the binary string into a variable called binary.

I then split them and using list comprehension, converted the binary as decimal integer with int(x,2), then to ascii with chr(x) and then joint them together to get a flag:

''.join([chr(int(a,2)) for a in binary.split(' ')])
