Read the print output as a variable python

Question

I have a variable that when I print it gives the value

"[[247 164][249 190][255 215][261 239][270 263][286 283][305 300][324 317][345 320][367 315][388 297][408 277][425 254]..."

and I am wondering if i could set the print value to a variable like:

a = print b

No, print returns None. Why would you want to do this? Check xy. — kabanus

@kabanus because the array being printed is a numpy array which I cant upload to a sql database, so i was hoping i could upload it as a string, trying to change the numpy array i have tried : — the pro-gramer

@kabanus arr = opencvImage #ts = arr.tostring() #tol = np.frombuffer(ts, dtype=int) and : import pickle tss = pickle.dumps(arr) tam = pickle.loads(tss) — the pro-gramer

Then ask "How do I insert a numpy array into a sql database" and give an example of what you actually want to do, and relevant code. — kabanus

Im not 100% sure what you are trying to accomplish but if you want the variable to be a string just do:

a = str(b)

I believe you are trying to do is convert the numpy array to a string, this can be done using python's str function, like so:

b = np.array([1, 2, 3])
a = str(b)
