Comment(by kmaglione):

 Sorry, you're right. I meant 243/3**5. For what it's worth, the following
 returns the correct answer, and 5 times faster:

 {{{
 #!python
 def base_repr(num, base, padding=0):
     digits='0123456789abcdef'
     s=[]
     while num:
         s.append(digits[num % base])
         num /= base
     res = ''.join(reversed(s or '0'))
     if padding:
         res = '0' * padding + res
     return res
 }}}
