It's not clear what you're trying to accomplish. If it's a self-redirect, then
something like:
start_idx = int(request.args[0])
rows = db.mymodel.select(limitby=(start_idx, start_idx+page_size))
if len(rows) == 0:
redirect(URL('thisfunction', args=['1']))
else:
#whatever...
pass
Notice that redirect doesn't return, so there's no point in "return redirect".
