Setting a Row Factory for SQLite Database Transactions Using Python

I am accessing a SQLite database using Python from Matlab:

>> dbFileName = 'myDatabase.db';
>> sql = py.importlib.import_module('sqlite3');
>> conn = sql.connect(dbFileName);
>> cur = conn.cursor()
% Followed by a SELECT command and a fetchone()

I want to use the row_factory py.sqlite3.Row. By default, the row_factory is set to py.None.

Outside of Matlab, from the Python prompt, I would simply do the following:

>>> con.row_factory = sql.Row

I tried the following from Matlab:

>> con.row_factory = py.sqlite3.Row;

however, the following Matlab error comes up:

Python Error: TypeError: function takes 2 arguments (0 given)

which is referring to py.sqlite3.Row. No luck in investigating sql.Row in the Python help.

Any ideas?
