Would this work for you?
class myrow():
def __init__(self, idict = {}):
self.container = idict
def __str__ (self):
return self.container.__str__()
results = [
{'a': 12, 'b' :30 },
{'a': 13, 'b' :40 }
]
mystruct = []
for row in results:
mystruct.append(myrow(row))
results[1]['b'] = 444
print results # [{'a': 12, 'b': 30}, {'a': 13, 'b': 444}]
print mystruct # does not work ok , you should probably define
# mystruct's __str__ method properly
# But, save for the __str__ thingy, the rest is ok.
for row in mystruct:
print row
# {'a': 12, 'b': 30}
# {'a': 13, 'b': 444}
