I think I just did. I did not commit this directly (pull request is
below) because I think it should be looked by someone else (e.g. you ;)
). This solution imposes a minor performance cost if using
mysql.connector with python 3, but I hope nothing more.

A side comment: the use of lists for returns is not being imposed by
me - the output of fetchall is already a list.

Another comment: due to docker problems with mysql, I cannot test this
on my buildbots. You would need to add python-mysql.connector and
python3-mysql.connector to test this on your buildbots. I have to get
down to the docker issue, but it seems that having a mysql on the host
machine scr.ws the container badly (if the container has a mysql
instance itself).
