Maybe introduce a second cursor?

import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect(':memory:')
c = conn.cursor()
d = conn.cursor() # second cursor
c.execute('''create table stocks
(date text, trans text, symbol text,
  qty real, price real)''')
c.execute("insert into stocks values ('2006-01-05','BUY','RHAT',100,35.14)")
c.execute("insert into stocks values ('2006-01-06','BUY','RHAT',100,20.0)")
c.execute("insert into stocks values ('2006-01-07','BUY','RHAT',100,15.0)")
c.execute("insert into stocks values ('2006-01-08','BUY','RHAT',100,10.0)")
conn.commit()
c.execute("select * from stocks")
for s in c:
    print s[0]
    d.execute("select * from stocks where price<20") # use the second cursor
    for s in d:
       print '  '+s[0]
c.close()


Outputs:
