tweaking ADO RecordSet tuple?

[fluxent at yahoo.com]

context/architecture: Python, ASP, MsSQL. Sending query to MsSQL, 
getting back RecordSet, outputting HTML table.

Am I correct in understanding that to work with a RecordSet in 
a "normal" (to me) manner, I need to:
- transpose it, since GetRows returns columns, not rows
- convert from unicode and dateobjects to useful stuff

Is there some code sitting someplace that people are usually using 
for this purpose? Or are so few people using ADO that it hasn't 
bubbled up?
