Ah, beautiful.  I knew that builtin function would come in handy
someday.

I'm not sure about your syntax.  I used this:

column_major_list = ado.GetRows()
row_major_list = apply(zip, column_major_list)

And since I really want all the strings as regular strings instead of
unicode, I also did this:

import types
def ununicode(x):
    if type(x) is types.UnicodeType:
        return str(x)
    else:
        return x
    
def stringify(rec):
    return tuple(map(ununicode, rec))
        
row_major_list = map(stringify, apply(zip,ado.GetRows()))


thanks for the tip!
