Actually, I don't think you actually need an asyncio.Queue.

You could use a simple deque as a buffer, and call fetchmany() when it is
empty, like that (untested):

class AsyncCursor:
    """Wraps a DB cursor and provide async method for blocking operations"""
    def __init__(self, cur, loop=None):
        if loop is None:
            loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        self._loop = loop
        self._cur = cur
        self._queue = deque()

    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        return getattr(self._cur, attr)

    def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
        return setattr(self._cur, attr, value)

    async def execute(self, operation, params):
        return await self._loop.run_in_executor(self._cur.execute,
operation, params)

    async def fetchall(self):
        return await self._loop.run_in_executor(self._cur.fetchall)


    async def fetchone(self):
        return await self._loop.run_in_executor(self._cur.fetchone)

    async def fetchmany(self, size=None):
        return await self._loop.run_in_executor(self._cur.fetchmany, size)


    async def __aiter__(self):
        return self

    async def __anext__(self):
        if self._queue.empty():
            rows = await self.fetchmany()
            if not rows:
                raise StopAsyncIteration()
            self._queue.extend(rows)

        return self._queue.popleft()
