Getting column names from a cursor using ODBC module?

[dananrg at yahoo.com]

Is there any way to retrieve column names from a cursor using the ODBC
module? Or must I, in advance, create a dictionary of column position
and column names for a particular table before I can access column
values by column names? I'd prefer sticking with the ODBC module for
now because it comes standard in Python.

I'm using Python 2.4 at the moment.

Thanks.
