imagehash.average_hash results in array instead of string

See original GitHub issue

Using python 2.7, when I try:

   `from PIL import Image 
   import imagehash
   img = Image.open(path)
   hash = imagehash.average_hash(img)
    print ("hash is:", hash)`

The result is an array like this:

('hash is:', array([[False, False, False, True, False, False, True, True], [False, False, False, True, True, True, True, True], [False, True, False, True, True, True, True, True], [False, True, True, True, True, True, True, True], [False, True, True, True, False, True, False, False], [False, True, True, True, True, True, True, False], [False, False, True, False, False, False, True, False], [False, False, False, False, False, False, True, True]])

Instead of a string. What I’m missing here? How can I fix it?

This works fine on an stand-alone python file. But as I need to save hash to mysql database, so that the comparison can be done later. And there started the problem.

well if we look at https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/imagehash/blob/master/imagehash/__init__.py we find def hex_to_hash(hexstr) which takes a string and gives you a hash object. Then you should be able to compute the distance as normal, afaik.
