That function is expecting a string instead of raw bits. You could simply
pass the list through the following code:
data = string.join(map(chr, data), '')
As for cursors, you can only use 2 colour bitmaps -- X does not support
using pixmaps for cursors. I don't think there is any way to get the xpm
loading functions to output 2 colour bitmaps though, and there is no gdk
wrapper for XReadBitmapFile (the xbm equivalent).
