@Ben, first of all thanks for replying.
I tried both of the solutions, the output I get is a vector containing only
zeros,
data: (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
When I use probe_signal
data: 0.0
But I was sending a vector composed of eleven elements of a combination of ones
and zeros.It seems extra-ordinary, when I open the file to see the data I keep,
I see two different symbols, ascii-codes, sequenced periodically after skipping
an amount of the first stored data.
What may be the problem, any idea?

vector_sink is useful if you're running for a short time, for example
in a test. You can access that data using snk.data() after tb.run()
has completed.
So something like:
tb.run()
time.sleep(10)
my_data = tb.my_vec_snk.data()
print "data: ",my_data
To extract data from a running flow graph use the probe blocks
(gr.probe_signal_*).
tb.start()
time.sleep(10)
my_data = tb.my_probe_signal.level()
print "data: ",my_data
