psycopg2 use column names instead of column number to get row data

Question

So currently when I execute SELECT query and retrieve data I have to get results like this:

connection = psycopg2.connect(user=\"admin\",

no need to call fetchall() method, the psycopg2 cursor is an iterable object you can directly do:

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM user")

for buff in cursor:
    row = {}
    c = 0
    for col in cursor.description:
        row.update({str(col[0]): buff[c]})
        c += 1

    print(row["id"])
    print(row["first_name"])
    print(row["last_name"])
