Is there something easier than ORM?

[一首诗]

Hi all,

Recently I am studying some python ORM libraries, such as sqlalchemy.

These are very powerful technologies to handle database.  But I think
my project are not complicated to enough to benefit from a complete
ORM system.

What I really want, is some easy ways to load data from database, and
change rows of data to list of named tuple, then I could send these
data to my client application.

I don't think I want these subtle behavior such as lazy load, auto
update, ect. in ORM.

So is there some libraries like that?

Or is there some tools that could generate code from database scheme
as I want?
