from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5.QtQuick import QQuickView
from PyQt5.QtQml import QJSValue

    @pyqtSlot(QJSValue)
    def get_value(self,value):
        print(value,type(value))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    path = 'test.qml'
    app = QApplication([])
    view = QQuickView()
    con = MyMain()

    }

I realize this question is extremely old, but I thought I'd post how I came to the solution in case someone else stumbles upon it via Google. While it isn't technically a direct conversion to a python list, what I found useful was to do myQJSValueInstance.toVariant() which converts the instance to a QVariant. I could then use the object as needed (e.g., iterating through it as if it were a normal python list).
