Okay, let me put it another way.
Are there any plans to give developers an easy way to retrieve values from a
cursor.fetchall(), in a DictCursor style?
Default: ((Decimal('0'), Decimal('52'), Decimal('4159'), 9998L),)
What I'm looking for:
[{
'f1' : Decimal('0'),
'f2' : Decimal('52'),
'f3' : Decimal('4159'),
'f4' : 9998L
}]
Maybe something like cursor.fetchall(field_names=True), or
cursor.dictfetchall() - which is what the removed function did.
