>>> c = MySQLdb.connect(*creds) >>> k = c.cursor() >>> k.execute("select * from account") 3L >>> k.fetchall() ((1L, 'test', -1L), (2L, 'Test', -1L), (3L, 'Test2', -1L)) For MySQLdb you can initialize the connection so that result rows are returned as dictionaries. (See the MySQLdb.cursorclass - I think - module). There is also a description attribute of the cursor object.
