Thanks Chris and John. Chris, this worked perfectly with the ODBC
module that ships with Python Win32:
column_names = [d[0] for d in cursor.description]
John, I've never heard of pyodbc but I'll have to look into it.
Thanks again.

Is there any way to retrieve column names from a cursor using the ODBC
module? Or must I, in advance, create a dictionary of column position
and column names for a particular table before I can access column
values by column names? I'd prefer sticking with the ODBC module for
now because it comes

data = google.doGoogleSearch(searchTerm, restrict = 'countryUS')

No, you're getting the L because you're printing a long integer. If you

Sorry for the double-thanks Frank.
I'm using Python 2.1 for Win32 and import datetime fails.
Does the datetime module come standard with later releases of Python?
If so, which release? If not, will datetime with with Python 2.1, if it
will, where can I get it? I'm still such a newbie with Python
If you actually get a suffixed L in the resulting text file, you
are using a strange way to convert your data to text. You aren't
simply printing lists or tuples are you? Then other types, such as
