CherryPy does not cache pages. I see you're using Yahoo as your ISP.
Yahoo has some rather aggressive proxy servers that cache pages on your
behalf whenever possible, and even when impossible in some cases.
That's how they are able to advertise "faster browsing!" If you press
Ctrl-F5, you should be able to bypass the cache.

If that's what is causing your problem, then you need to include
http-equiv lines in your web pages to make the pages non-cachable. A
Google search should help:

Thanks Tim

this was really puzzling me (I'm just using localhost, so its not  yahoo or anyone)

I think CP can cache (otherwise what's the point of the config {'tools.caching.on': False})

But your comments inspired me to dig deeper

I think I have been misusing sqlalchemy. I needed Scoped Sessions as described here sqlalchemy - http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_7/orm/session.html#unitofwork-contextual 

thanks
