Do you mean this stuff?

One thing that could be useful: only recently I discovered that a Python 
Script can refer to SQL columns *by name*, since I had seen no doc about it, 
only in mailing lists archives.

You can build a dictionary of data from a SQL query, like this:


# this returns one row only
rows = query.sql()

if not rows:
     return {}

fRow = {}
for field in rows[0].names():
     fRow[field] = rows[0][field]

return fRow
