You can either forget about about the custom row_factory and use
cursor.description
>>> import sqlite3
>>> db = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
>>> cs = db.cursor()
>>> cs.execute("select 1 foo, 2 bar")
<sqlite3.Cursor object at 0x7f9a5b37f3b0>
>>> names = [col[0] for col in cs.description]
>>> names
['foo', 'bar']
>>> for row in cs:
... for name, value in zip(names, row):
... print(name, value, sep=": ")
...
foo: 1
bar: 2
or use sqlite3.Row and its keys() method:
>>> cs.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
>>> for row in cs.execute("select 1 ham, 2 spam"):
... for name in row.keys():
... print(name, row[name], sep=": ")
...
ham: 1
spam: 2
