But how do I get vtkDataArray as a binary string (to pass to
Numeric.fromstring())?

vtkDataArray::GetVoidPointer() returns a pointer in "SWIG" form to python,
i.e. as a python-string. fromstring() interprets this as a literal string
(instead of as a pointer in memory) as so gives the wrong result.
