A wrapper like that could be built quite generically.
Also, better to wrap the whole sequence, I think,
rather than each tuple individually:

   results = tableview(mycursor, 'price', 'upc')
   for row in results:
     print row.price, row.upc

Something for the itertools module, perhaps? (It
would need to be an iterator wrapper, not a
sequence wrapper, to work on DB cursors etc.)
