Rows from a stored procedure result are stringified

Hello,

Please copy me on replies as I'm not subscribed to this list.

I'm working on an application using psycopg2 2.2.1.  Regarding stored
procedures, I'm seeing some odd behavior.  I am calling the procedure like:

SELECT sp_foobar(1, 2, 3);

In this case, the stored procedure is declared to return a "setof" a
custom type, and it returns using "RETURN QUERY SELECT ...".

I would expect the rows to come back from cursor.fetchall() in this
structure:

[(1,2),(3,4),(5,6)]

But they are returned like this:

[('(1,2)'),('(3,4)'),('(5,6)')]

This makes no sense to me.  Is this expected/documented behavior?
