Generally, I like the idea of converting arrays to Python lists. I think 
Psycopg2 does it already. However, if we do it, then it should not only 
work for integers, but for all data types. Also, I would not recommend 
using eval() because it could open a possibility for some evil kind of 
SQL hacking. We should use some recursive evaluation function instead.
