Thanks for looking into this! I did see the Cache wiki page. Also did a lot of google searching, and it does look there is no easy way to disable caching. Kodi core is compiled, correct? I do see some string relevant to caching inside the kodi binary.
Do you know at what point inside your Python script the following Kodi LOG message are generated?

In particular, the second line. Perhaps I can trick Kodi into not generating the cached version of the image.
