Okay, so this would all be implemented in C?

If you want Python array format, you may as well use JSON since it's more
of an exchange standard and it's the most convenient format for monitoring
in a web-based GUI. There are a bunch of good JSON libraries, ranging from
the ultra-compact http://zserge.bitbucket.org/jsmn.html and
http://ccodearchive.net/info/json.html, to the object-oriented
http://www.digip.org/jansson/doc/dev/tutorial.html.
