Why would Record don't support dot notation?

See #13 for the rationale of why this is not a good idea.

[imbolc]

The reasons look good at the first glance. But sometimes people are already working with Record in dot notation. E.g. jinja or django templates allow to do this. And so people forced to use different syntax in their handlers and templates.

[elprans]

Both Jinja and Django allow dot notation for getitem access, so this argument is invalid.

[imbolc]

Yes, sure. In django views you should use record as a dict, but in templates you should use dot notation. I would prefer use dot notation in both cases.

[elprans]

That's understandable. One potential solution is to add the ability to specify a cursor factory, like psycopg does. I'll open a separate issue for this.
