Feature Request: Row results as Dict's?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can greatly appreciate being able to access a column's value in a row this 
way:

{{{print row.the_column}}}

However, in some cases its extremely useful to access the column's via a Dict 
like this:

{{{print row["the_column"]}}}

One basic example on how this is helpful:

{{{SELECT column1+column2 AS "My Data" FROM mytable}}}

In this case, your resulting column name is "My Data". Obvious you cannot 
access that column via object oriented methods like this:

{{{print row.My Data}}}

Is this something you would consider adding to pyodbc? Great module btw!

I understand the issue, but you can use this workaround in the meantime:

  getattr(row, 'My Data')

You can also use row[0], of course, which is often handy.

Is this good enough?
