I am using a module that is part of a commercial software API. The good news is there is a python module - the bad news is that its pretty unpythonic.

To iterate over rows, the follwoing syntax is used:

cursor = gp.getcursor(table)
row =  cursor.Next()
while row:
    #do something with row
    row = cursor.next()

What is the most pythonic way to deal with this situation? I have considered creating a first class function/generator and wrapping calls to a for loop in it:

def cursor_iterator(cursor):
    row =  cursor.Next()
    while row:
        yield row
        row = cursor.next()

[...]

cursor = gp.getcursor(table)
for row in cursor_iterator(cursor):
    # do something with row

This is an improvement, but feels a little clumsy. Is there a more pythonic approach? Should I create a wrapper class around the table type?
