While the proposed formats look nice for artificial inputs, the Row object can have more than two fields and the value of a field can be much longer than that. So, in practice the new repr can make the situation worse than the current repr.

I think wrapping the output of row.keys() (https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Row.keys) with something like reprlib.recursive_repr() would work better for Row objects with several fields.
