     Why not simply call it n times from Python?

     (But be aware that calling the same query n times in a row is likely to
     be
     unrealistically fast because most of the data will already be in
     memory.)

   Thanks, I'll give this a shot. Hopefully the caching is not an issue if I
   don't re-use the same database connection.
