Is there something easier than ORM?

I always use a DB-API implementation for the database I use,
i.e. psycopg/psycopg2.

Named tuples are really easy to provide:

class NamedTuple:
  def __init__(self, names, values):
    for name, value in izip(names, values):
        setattr(self, name, value)

person_rows = "first last age".split()
def get_person(conn, id):
    conn.execute("select first, last, age from person where id=%d"
                 % (id,))
    return NamedTuple(person_rows, conn.fetchone())
