I think what you are looking for here is the concept called "pluggable brains". As I understand it (never having used it myself), it allows you to wrap the returned results up as instances of a python class, thus supplying object logic to your rdbms data. Whether or not ZClasses can play the role of pluggable brains I don't know, but I have a feeling they would be overkill for that.
