Hi Javier,
Since you are new to Python I'll ask whether you want to convert Numpy  
arrays to Python arrays (as you stated) or Python lists. Python lists  
are used very frequently; Python arrays see very little use outside of  
numpy.

If you can use a Python list, the .tolist() member of the numpy array  
object should do the trick.
