Here is what I was seeing with refresh:
for x in xrange(0,10):
mc.file(new=True,force=True)
mc.polySphere(ch=True,o=True, r=5)
#key sphere in diffrent time
mc.currentTime(5, edit=True )
mc.setKeyframe("pSphere1")
mc.currentTime(10, edit=True )
mc.setAttr("pSphere1.translateY", 5)
mc.setKeyframe("pSphere1")
mc.currentTime(0, edit=True )
mc.refresh()
#getting first and last key
firstKey = mc.findKeyframe(timeSlider=True, which='first')
lastKey = mc.findKeyframe(timeSlider=True, which='last')
print firstKey
print lastKey

Not sure why though.
