You can wrap a results block any way you like with the :wrap header
argument, e.g.,

#+name: example
#+BEGIN_SRC python -n :results output :exports both :wrap results
  print "Hello World"
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: example
#+BEGIN_results
Hello World
#+END_results

Or,

#+name: example
#+BEGIN_SRC python -n :results output :exports both :wrap foo
  print "Hello World"
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: example
#+BEGIN_foo
Hello World
#+END_foo

If you have loaded org-special-blocks, then

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{framed}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{xcolor}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{.95}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newenvironment{results}{\begin{shaded}}{\end{shaded}}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newenvironment{foo}{\begin{framed}}{\end{framed}}

hth,
Tom
