psycopg3 and cur.description behavior - Mailing list psycopg

Hello psycopg users
This is my first post on this mailing list

I'm an hobbistic user of pythom/postgresql/psycopg. I'm trying to port 
my application from psycopg2 to psycopg3 beta and i have some problems..

In my application a call a postgresql function that returns some data. 
The relevant part of the function is this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION system.pa_connect(
    pg_version numeric,
    app_name text,
    app_version text,
    app_user_name text,
    app_user_pwd text,
    app_client_name text)
     RETURNS TABLE(session_id integer, app_user character varying, 
user_description text, is_admin boolean, can_edit_views boolean, 
can_edit_sortfilters boolean, can_edit_reports boolean, l10n character, 
tool_button_style character, tab_position character, font_family 
character varying, font_size integer, icon_theme character varying, 
style_theme character varying, use_dark_palette boolean, auto_hide_dock 
boolean, company integer, change_password_required boolean)
     LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'

(...)

RETURN QUERY
    SELECT pg_backend_pid(),
        c.app_user,
        u.description,
        u.is_admin,
        u.can_edit_views,
        u.can_edit_sortfilters,
        u.can_edit_reports,
        u.l10n,
        u.tool_button_style,
        u.tab_position,
        u.font_family,
        u.font_size,
        u.icon_theme,
        u.style_theme,
        u.use_dark_palette,
        u.auto_hide_dock,
        u.last_company,
        --system.pa_setting('model_select_limit')::int,
        change_password_required
     FROM system.connection c
     JOIN system.app_user u ON c.app_user = u.code
     LEFT JOIN system.app_user_company uc ON c.app_user = uc.app_user AND 
c.company = uc.company
     WHERE c.session_id = pg_backend_pid();

(...)

In my python code i use the return query to create a dictionary in this 
way:

session.update(dict(zip([i[0] for i in cur.description], 
cur.fetchall()[0])))

This part no longer works in psycopg 3. Looks like cur.description in 
psycopg 3 is different if i execute a query or call a function.
So i tryed to execute this code:

cur.execute('SELECT * FROM system.app_user;')
print(cur.fetchall())
print(cur.description)

And this is the result:

[('system', 'pyCOGE system administrator', None,

BUT if i execute (call) the already mentioned postgresql function:

cur.execute('SELECT system.pa_connect(%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s);',
                                 (MRV_PGSQL,
                                  APPNAME,
                                  APPVERSION,
                                  par['user'],
                                  par['password'],
                                  par['hostname']))
print(cur.fetchall())
print(cur.description)

the result is:

[(('14120', 'system', 'pyCOGE system administrator', 't', 't', 't', 't', 
'en_US', 'I', 'N', 'Verdana', '11', 'oxygen', 'windowsvista', 'f', 't', 
'10', 'f'),)]
[<Column 'pa_connect', type: record (oid: 2249)>]

i don't see the description of each field.

what am I doing wrong? How can i get the psycopg2 behavior?

Python 3.8.9 on windows 10, postgresql 13, psycopg 3.0 beta1

and sorry for my poor english...
