I don't understand much, but if you just want to convert to a regular
float array, you can just create a new array with np.array  in
as_double, or not?

>>> np.array(np.ldexp(obj, -obj.frac_bits))
array([ 0.,  1.,  2.,  3.,  4.])
>>> np.array(np.ldexp(obj, -obj.frac_bits)).dtype
dtype('float64')
>>> type(np.array(np.ldexp(obj, -obj.frac_bits)))
<type 'numpy.ndarray'>
