Can anyone explain the reasoning behind returning a row object as a tuple when using the Data Access module update cursor? I can understand it with a search cursor, you can dict(zip(cursor.fields,row)) and make a dictionary that lets you call the values by field name. I don't understand how I should be using this without counting to find the field index number in the tuple. The help docs are not very clear on this topic. It seems like returning a dictionary would be easier for the users. I only just was given permission to update to 10.1 because sp1 is now out so I may have missed this discussion at an earlier date. So as not to be entirely contrary, I do like the with-as usage for cursor's. That's pretty neat.
