mysql - Django query executed in view returns old data -

i have view queries model populate form:

class addserverform(forms.form):     …snip…     # compile , present choices hardware config     hwchoices = hardwareconfig.objects.\         values_list('name','description').order_by('name')     hwchoices = [('', '----- select 1 -----')] +\         [ (x,'{0} - {1}'.format(x,y)) x,y in hwchoices ]      hwconfig = forms.choicefield(label='hardware config', choices=hwchoices)     …snip…  def addservers(request, template="manager/add_servers.html",     template_success="manager/add_servers_success.html"):     if request.method == 'post':         # …snip… - process form     else:         # page called via - use default form         addform = addserverform()      return render_to_response(template, dict(addform=addform),         context_instance=requestcontext(request)) 

additions hardwareconfig model done using admin interface. changes show in admin interface expected.

running query via shell returns results expected:

michael@victory> python manage.py shell python 2.6 (r26:66714, feb 21 2009, 02:16:04) [gcc 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]] on linux2 type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" more information. (interactiveconsole) >>> serverbuild.base.models import hardwareconfig >>> hwchoices = hardwareconfig.objects.\ ...         values_list('name','description').order_by('name') 

hwchoices contains complete set of results.

however, loading addservers view (above) returns old result set, missing newly-added entries.

i have restart webserver in order changes show makes seem though query being cached somewhere.

• i'm not doing explicit caching anywhere (grep -ri cache /project/root returns nothing)
• it's not browser caching page - inspected via chrome tools, tried using different user & computer

what's going wrong , how fix it?

---

versions:

• mysqldb: 1.2.2
• django: 1.2.5
• python: 2.6

hwchoices evaluated when form defined - ie when process starts.

do calculation in form's __init__ method instead.
