Hi all - Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I think map(tuple, list) is probably the most compact, but the list comprehension also works well.
Because map() is proably going to disappear someday, I'll stick with the list comprehension. array( [tuple(row) for row in result], dtype=dtype) That said, is there some compelling reason that the array function doesn't support this operation?
