title: Read .db file into Python
body: <p>I read the basics on the sqlite3 module (<a href="https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html</a>) which allows you to connect to a .db file within a database and then you can execute normal SQL commands, but I'm wondering if it's possible to read the <code>.db</code> file into a list of lists, or arrays, or even dictionaries. Essentially, I'm trying to do the same thing that the unicodecsv or csv modules do but with .db files.</p>
  
  <p>In case you're wondering why I'm attempting this: I'm going to be transforming the data and it would just be easier for me to work with an array to compute on an entire column at once. Please let me know if you need any clarifications.</p>
