expecting that Python/ctypes should be able to figure out that you
want an array of 4 integers printed as a dot-separated string is a
bit optimistic, perhaps.  but nothing that a little explicit string 
formatting cannot fix:

 >>> from ctypes import *
 >>> versionArr = c_long * 4
 >>> version = versionArr(1, 2, 3, 4)
 >>> "%d.%d.%d.%d" % tuple(version)
'1.2.3.4'
