Thank you very much Ivan and Francesc, I've been able to rapidly solve
the problem with your help.

I've chosen the last approach you suggested me since in my application
it's easier to retrieve the column index instead of the name.
So the approaches that require hardcoding of natural column naming
inside python instructions are a second choice in my case compared to
those where I can directly use the column index or indirectly convert
the column index to name (even thought I find natural naming approach
very useful when working on the interactive python console).

Sincerely.
