Hi,
I'm just re-raising this problem to anyone on the mailing list, because I haven't had any luck on StackOverflow, or any suggested answers from the mailing list:
With thanks,
Andy

I've outlined my problem in detail with some test code which illustrates what works (without adapters/converters), and how it fails when I build my working code into using an adapter and converter:

> The format you see in the debugger is easy to parse: it is PostgreSQL hex binary format (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/datatype-binary.html). psycopg can parse that format and return a buffer containing the data; you can use that buffer to obtain an array. Instead of writing a typecaster from scratch, write one invoking the original func and postprocess its result. Sorry but I can't remember its name now and I'm writing from a mobile: you may get further help from the mailing list.
