Yes. From the SQLAlchemy docs:

In the most general sense, the Session 
<http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/session_api.html#sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session>
 
establishes all conversations with the database and represents a “holding 
zone” for all the objects which you’ve loaded or associated with it during 
its lifespan. It provides the entrypoint to acquire a Query 
<http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/query.html#sqlalchemy.orm.query.Query>
 
object, which sends queries to the database using the Session 
<http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/session_api.html#sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session>
 
object’s current database connection, populating result rows into objects 
that are then stored in the Session 
<http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/session_api.html#sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session>,
 
inside a structure called the Identity Map 
<http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/identityMap.html> - a data structure 
that maintains unique copies of each object, where “unique” means “only one 
object with a particular primary key”.
