No idea, but what happens when you iterate over it?
for i in array_thingy:
print i
Or does it support the buffer interface?
for i in buffer (array_thingy):
print i
If it did then you can at least get access to its
innards and construct some kind of string representation.
I've no idea what the numbers are supposed to represent,
so I don't know what "convert it to a string" is likely
to imply. This looks rather more like a dbus question than
a strictly Python one. Is there a DBus mailing list or
what-have-you?
