How to print out the 16bit data before saving an image with plt.imshow(data) in Python?

Question

from PIL import Image
from pylab import *
from numpy import NaN
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def julia(C):
    X = arange(-1.5, 1.5, 0.005)
    Y = arange(-1.5, 1.5, 0.005)
    M = zeros((len(Y), len(X)))
    plt.axis('off')

    for x_iter, x in enumerate(X):
        for y_iter, y in enumerate(Y):
            z = x + 1j * y
            pixel = NaN
            for n in range(1, 4096):
                z = z**2 + C
                if abs(z) > 2:
                    pixel = n
                    break

            M[y_iter, x_iter] = pixel

    # (Please help! here I want to print the calculated matrix elements out to check the actual data  values, but how to write out this piece of code?!)

    plt.imshow(M, cmap = cm.cubehelix, extent = (X.min(), X.max(), Y.min(), Y.max()))
    plt.savefig('julia.tiff')

I want to print the calculated matrix elements out to check the actual data values, but how to write out this piece of code?! Please help me out!!

You can just print M by print("Calculated Matrix: ",M)
