For MySQL, there is the DictCursor class. Here's an example, 
and you should even be able to use it as-is as I've opened up 
public access to my MySQL database:

>>> import MySQLdb.cursors
>>> conn = MySQLdb.connect(host='melder.paulmcnett.com', user='dabo', passwd='dabo', db='dabotest')
>>> dictCursor = conn.cursor(cursorclass=MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
>>> print dictCursor.execute('select * from recipes where mingred like "%coriander%"')
14
>>> recordSet = dictCursor.fetchall()
>>> for record in recordSet:
...     print record['iid'], record['ctitle']
