Funny that: the only time I can recall using the array
module is for another PLC application. Using the (more
general)  struct module to pack heterogenous data packets
is much more common.

import array
estab = [8, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0...]
array.array('B', estab).tostring()

would probably be how I'd code it.
