Answer 1

I guess you’re using InnoDB. This is default for an InnoDB transaction.

REPEATABLE READ

This is the default isolation level for InnoDB. For consistent reads,
there is an important difference from the READ COMMITTED isolation
level: All consistent reads within the same transaction read the
snapshot established by the first read. This convention means that if
you issue several plain (nonlocking) SELECT statements within the same
transaction, these SELECT statements are consistent also with respect
to each other. See Section 13.2.8.2, “Consistent Nonlocking Reads”.

I haven’t tested yet but forcing MySQLdb to start a new transaction by issuing a commit() on the current connection or create a new connection might solve the issue.
