Comments on: Pagination in Django http://www.davidcramer.net/code/466/pagination-in-django.html A blog about Django, JavaScript, CSS, and general web development.

I stopped reading when I saw the ridiculous amount of code you wrote as an example of django's built in pagination. all you have to do call the object_list generic view at the end of your view, pass it the queryset and a handful of extra (optional) arguments. At the template level, it can be a little bit redundant, still, but that can be handled with a simple inclusion tag. Sometimes it seems like you save a lot of time by just rolling your own stuff like this instead of figuring out the django idioms, but in the end it pays off to spend a couple of days with the docs :) Luijk has it right.

I pass request into a custom Paginator subclass which adds another iteration method "pages". "pages" returns a tuple of (page_number, urlencoded_query) which you can just iterate over to display in your templates. Secondly I've got a little shortcut function "get_pagination" that returns a tuple of (paginator, page_obj) for a given request and queryset. Makes the view code less ug. http://gist.github.com/145950 Personally I like having less verbose template logic.
