py: Load strings as objects when compiling viper.

Eventually, viper wants to be able to use raw pointers to strings and
arrays for efficient access.  But for now, let's just load strings as a
Python object so they can be used as normal.  This will anyway be
compatible with eventual intended viper behaviour.

Addresses issue #857.
