You can't, really. I mean, you can, but it involves deep Python magic
which is bad, bad, bad. The closest non-magical solution would be:
first_name, last_name, username = dbRow("select first_name, last_name,
username from users where user_id = 1")
To do this, you'd modify dbRow to return a list or tuple. This is what
I always do. It also removes the ambiguity of something like:
db1Row("select a.b, c.b, d.e from x")
Where the dictionary will contain "a.b", "c.b" and "e". I always hated
that.
