python: what does array([...]) mean?

Question

i am working with lists, and there is a function that is returning something that looks like this:

array([0, 5, 3, 3, 0, 1, 2])

how do i cast those values into a list?

array most likely refers to a numpy.array

myarray = array([0, 5, 3, 3, 0, 1, 2])
mylist = list(myarray)

for small arrays (30 elements or so on this computer) myarray.tolist() is faster
