How to store the PSQL command result into an array or Python dictionary?

I want to filter & select the table with some condition.

SELECT SubContinent, Country from myTable WHERE Country='Thailand' ;

Accessing to pgdatabase via Python is okay for me.

Using the PSQL command via Python, I would like to select the columns and store the values in an array of dictionary like below.

dict= {'SubContinent': 'South-East Asia', 'Country': 'Thailand'}; 

How can I put the selection result into a Python dictionary?

Any help is highly appreciate.

Many thanks in advanced.

Best regards
