1. Convert list to bytes and get back list again:

import numpy as np
from io import BytesIO

def list2bytes(v):
    np_array = np.array(v)
    np_bytes = BytesIO()
    np.save(np_bytes, np_array, allow_pickle=True)
    return np_bytes.getvalue()

def bytes2list(v):
    np_bytes = BytesIO(v)
    np_array = np.load(np_bytes, allow_pickle=True)
    return np_array.tolist()
