Hi

Newbie here.  I think I have a fundamental misunderstanding of either how 
session works or you inspect works.  My goal is to track changes to my 
object.  I wrote up this sample to show what I'm having trouble 
understanding.

from sqlalchemy import create_engine, inspect
from sqlalchemy import Column, BigInteger, String, Date, Integer
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

from dateutil.relativedelta import *

Base = declarative_base()


class SaTest(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'sa_test'

    id = Column(BigInteger, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(String(50))
    dob = Column(Date)
    number_of_children = Column(Integer)

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.name


engine = 
create_engine('mysql://mysqluser:mysqlpassword@servername/databasename')
Base.metadata.bind = engine

DBSession = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
session = DBSession()

"""
#  run this the first time to create the data
jim = SaTest(name='Jim', dob=parse('1971-02-23'), number_of_children=3)
session.add(jim)

joe = SaTest(name='Joe', dob=parse('1968-06-09'), number_of_children=5)
session.add(joe)

session.commit()
"""

jim = session.query(SaTest).filter_by(id=1).one()
jim.dob = jim.dob + relativedelta(days=+14)
jim.number_of_children = jim.number_of_children + 1

#joe = session.query(SaTest).filter_by(id=2).first()   <----  if I 
uncomment this line, inspect doesn't display the changes in history

insp = inspect(jim)

for attr, attr_state in insp.attrs.items():
    if attr_state.history.has_changes():
        print('{}: {}'.format(attr, attr_state.value))
        print('History: {}\n'.format(attr_state.history))


I've built this based on the example at the bottom of page 107 in the 
O'Reilly Essential SQLAlchemy book.  

It seems to my that running the second query is somehow invalidating the 
inspection of the jim object.  I'd really like to understand why, but 
haven't been able to find anything to help explain it to me.

Any help would really be appreciated.
