vector_sink is useful if you're running for a short time, for example
in a test.  You can access that data using snk.data() after tb.run()
has completed.
So something like:
   tb.run()
   time.sleep(10)
   my_data = tb.my_vec_snk.data()
   print "data: ",my_data

To extract data from a running flow graph use the probe blocks
(gr.probe_signal_*).
   tb.start()
   time.sleep(10)
   my_data = tb.my_probe_signal.level()
   print "data: ",my_data
