        for loops work on data sets. List comprehensions work well for  
filtering.

        Let's say you have a dataset with a 'lastname' column, and you want  
to scan all rows with 'jones' in the lastname:

for rec in [r for r in mydataset if "jones" in r["lastname"].lower()]:
        # do something with this row...

        You don't need cursors to do basic Python stuff.
