Python - mysqlDB, sqlite result as dictionary

Doing this in mysqlDB you just add the following to the connect function call

cursorclass = MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor

You can do this very easily. For SQLite: my_connection.row_factory = sqlite3.Row

Check it out on the python docs: http://docs.python.org/library/sqlite3.html#accessing-columns-by-name-instead-of-by-index

>>> import sqlite3
>>> conn = sqlite3.connect(':memory:')
>>> conn.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
>>> c = conn.cursor()
>>> c.execute('create table test (col1,col2)')
<sqlite3.Cursor object at 0x1004bb298>
>>> c.execute("insert into test values (1,'foo')")
<sqlite3.Cursor object at 0x1004bb298>
>>> c.execute("insert into test values (2,'bar')")
<sqlite3.Cursor object at 0x1004bb298>
>>> for i in c.execute('select * from test'): print i['col1'], i['col2']
... 
1 foo
2 bar

import MySQLdb
dbConn = MySQLdb.connect(host='xyz', user='xyz', passwd='xyz', db='xyz')
dictCursor = dbConn.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
dictCursor.execute("SELECT a,b,c FROM table_xyz")
resultSet = dictCursor.fetchall()
for row in resultSet:
    print row['a']
dictCursor.close
dbConn.close()
