[patch] Clearer, faster _dict_helper()

[Andy Dustman <farcepest@…>]

Currently django.db.backends.util._dict_helper uses enumerate() and several index operations per column to build a dictionary result. It's much simpler and faster, since there's only one index operation per column vs. four with current implementation, and no intermediate list from enumerate():

 def _dict_helper(desc, row):
     "Returns a dictionary for the given cursor.description and result row."
-    return dict([(desc[col[0]][0], col[1]) for col in enumerate(row)])
+    return dict(zip([col[0] for col in desc], row))

 def dictfetchone(cursor):
     "Returns a row from the cursor as a dict"

Not that this is likely to be a big bottleneck in Django, but there's no downside.
