Hmmm,

This reply is for the benefit of the public, as I already answered your
courtesy email (Thanks!).

I've seen the docs on python.org, but they appear to be not quite complete.
According to dir(cursor_object) there are a couple of methods not covered in
the API description. Also, I'm having a little trouble understanding exactly
what arguments the methods take and what they return.

OTOH I'm not having a lot of trouble finding out what things do with trial and
error, and I think I'd have less trouble reading the source than getting my
head round OO programming, as I am a procedural programmer originally.
Thanks anyway,

Mart
