Right, and this was suggested elsewhere ;)

And, yeah, the actual code is much more involved :-D

	"""Convenience function for running read-write queries.

	Typically (part of) a transaction.

	Args:
		link_obj: None, cursor, connection
		queries:

		* a list of dicts [{'cmd': <string>, 'args': <dict> or <tuple>)
		* to be executed as a single transaction
		* the last query may usefully return rows, such as:

			SELECT currval('some_sequence');
				or
			INSERT/UPDATE ... RETURNING some_value;

		end_tx:

		* controls whether the transaction is finalized (eg.
		  COMMITted/ROLLed BACK) or not, this allows the
		  call to run_rw_queries() to be part of a framing
		  transaction
		* if link_obj is a *connection* then "end_tx" will
		  default to False unless it is explicitly set to
		  True which is taken to mean "yes, you do have full
		  control over the transaction" in which case the
		  transaction is properly finalized
		* if link_obj is a *cursor* we CANNOT finalize the
		  transaction because we would need the connection for that
		* if link_obj is *None* "end_tx" will, of course, always
		  be True, because we always have full control over the
		  connection, not ending the transaction would be pointless

		return_data:

		* if true, the returned data will include the rows
		    the last query selected
		* if false, it returns None instead

		get_col_idx:

		* True: the returned tuple will include a dictionary
		    mapping field names to column positions
		* False: the returned tuple includes None instead of a field mapping dictionary

	Returns:

		* (None, None) if last query did not return rows
		* ("fetchall() result", <index>) if last query returned any rows and "return_data" was True

		* for *index* see "get_col_idx"
