You don't need to do anything with it to send it to some function:

>>> lst = [1,2,3,'a','b']
>>> def a(array):
...  for item in array:
...   print item
... 
>>> a(lst)
1
2
3
a
b


I hope this is what you wanted, but not too sure.. if this is not it,
please elaborate with some sample production code.
