Thanks for the reply!  Mostly I wanted to make sure there wasn't
already a standard solution out there.

For me, it just feels goofy to write something like [row[0] for row in
cursor.fetchall()], but I understand where you are coming from.

I like the cursor subclass idea so maybe I'll take a shot at something
like that.
