so you have a problem with python, not the database!

if you're not "loop-proficient", massage it first to a dictionary, then 
loop over it

from collections import defaultdict
resultset = defaultdict(list)
for row in parents_and_childs:
    resultset[row.parent_record.id].append(row)

then you can
for k,v in resultset.iteritems():
     print v[0].parent_record.name
     for child in v:
         print child.child_record.name
etc etc etc
