Really though, Django might be overkill but it makes development fly by. I can't recommend it enough, but if you're absolutely certain that it won't suit, you might do well to look at the smaller frameworks like Pylons or CherryPy. Actually, you've a hell of a lot of frameworks you could choose from if any one doesn't suit.

Hmm, I don't really think Pylons is "small". It's small in the sense that you can swap out a lot of components, and the core code isn't really that big, but it's still very Rails-like/big. CherryPy is a bit more manageable. Web.py is pretty small as well. Reddit used it for one of their billions of rewrites and rewrote the entire site in a weekend or something.

How do you reset an iterator in a for loop?
code:
switch = True

for i in range(0, 5):
	print i

	if (i == 4) and (switch == True):
		i = 0
		switch = False
Why doesn't this loop twice?

I think you're stuck in C mode, where at the end of the loop you do i++. Python simply assigns the next value in the iterator to i until no values remain, which is why it doesn't loop twice. It's probably cleaner to put the number of repetitions you want in an outer loop, instead:

code:

for j in range(2):
    for i in range(5):
        print i
