Does web.py load up all the code on every request?

If running under a CGI/WSGI bridge then yes. If using other WSGI
hosting mechanisms which use persistent server processes to handle
requests, then in the main the answer is no. Specifically, any
standard Python modules would not be reloaded. Whether web.py has some
autoreloading feature for just request handlers I don't know.
