The 'Array' class is present in more than one python standard library.
In some versions of Python 3, the following error occurs:
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.buffer = Array(c_char, self.buffer_size, lock=False)
TypeError: abstract class
This apparently happens because Python can be inconsistent about which
class of the name 'Array' gets imported. Fix by importing explicitly by
name so that only the desired 'Array' gets imported.
