@Charlie Clark:
In the documentation 
(http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_8/orm/session.html#session-frequently-asked-questions
 
see "Is the Session a cache ?"), it is mentioned that it does not 
necessarily performs a query.

@Simon King:
I guess you're the King indeed, I tried:
1. to assign the result of the 3 queries to 3 different variables
2. to assign the result of the 3 queries to the same variable
3. to assign the result of the first query to a variable and not to assign 
the result of the 2 last queries
In all these cases, only 1 SQL query were sent so your suspicion looks 
correct.

Thank you both.
