Maybe. The issue is as below. Thanks to Maurice Meyer's answer to this 
SO question:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63200437/psycopg2-extras-dictrow-behaves-differently-using-for-v...

for pointing me in the right direction.

https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/blob/fbba461052ae6ebc43167ab69ad91cadb7914c83/lib/extras.py

class DictRow(list):

	...
	
	def __getitem__(self, x):
         	if not isinstance(x, (int, slice)):
             		x = self._index[x]
	        return super(DictRow, self).__getitem__(x)

So if the value passed to __getitem__() is a integer or slice it does a 
list index.

So:

con = psycopg2.connect("dbname=production host=localhost user=postgres", 
cursor_factory=DictCursor)
cur = con.cursor()
cur.execute("select * from cell_per")

rs = cur.fetchall()

type(rs) 
 

list

r0 = rs[0]

type(r0) 
 

psycopg2.extras.DictRow

for fld in r0.__iter__():
     print(fld)

5
H PREM 3.5
18
None
2004-06-02 15:11:26
None
postgres
herb
none
HP3

What you where trying:

for fld in r0:
     print(r0[fld])

KeyError: 'H PREM 3.5'

So the 5 works because there are at least 6 items in the record. The 'H 
PREM 3.5' fails because it is a value not a key.

cur.execute("select cell_per from cell_per")
rs = cur.fetchall()
r0 = rs[0]

r0
[18]

for fld in r0:
     print(r0[fld])

IndexError: list index out of range

Fails as there are not 19 items in the DictRow.
