This is strange because it's not the same behaviour as in a pure
Python class. If you really need __getitem__ you could write a
wrapper (or derive, not sure if it is possible):

class sbArray(object):
     def __init__(self, plainarray):
         self.data = plainarray
     def __getitem__(self, idx):
         return self.data[idx]
