title: Accessing the values returned from a cursor
body: <p>I'm trying to access the values returned by a cursor:</p>
  
  <pre><code>competence = cursor.execute(SELECT)
  print competence
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;fdb.fbcore.Cursor object at 0x1051c3cc0&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I access the values returned by <code>cursor.execute</code>? I'm using python 2, so I can't use unpacking (<code>*</code>).</p>
