Sorry. I didn`t notice the first sentence -> t = c.fetchone() line:
(Picture what I've managed to imagine!).
Anyrod, and finishing 'cos I'd be posting in [Tutor] rather than here, I
prefer:
the sillier:
t = c.fetchone()
while t:
  --- # Some-kind-of code
  t = c.fetchone()

rather than other complex-solutions brought here. Don't forget it was a
beginner question. If I'd were looking for troubles I learned Perl. 

Python is fine (looks fine) 'cos sounds neat to me. Otherwise 'while 1:'
is clever but my solution:
    a) Get 1 row
    b) Is empty?: No? Use it and get another; Yes? We are done

is soooo academic!. But I like it. (And these sentences of
while(forever) scares me ;))

Be happy all of you there!
