An enhancement request. 

I don't know if something like that is even possible, but I think that it would be quite helpful if various cursor methods like columns, tables etc, returned a namedtuple.

with regards,

The ones you mentioned return Row objects, so you can already use names.  Look at the Cursor.columns example (https://code.google.com/p/pyodbc/wiki/Cursor)

# columns in table x
for row in cursor.columns(table='x'):
    print row.column_name

The results are the same as if you performed a SQL SELECT for the given columns.
