Thank you, I have been looking for search result paging for quite some time and this was really helpful in achieving that goal. I didn't quite understand all of what was going on but that has more to do with my level of understanding with django than your work here. I'll be checking back in to see if I get more of what's going on here

Luijk has it right. 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 :)

Personally I like having less verbose template logic. 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.

Another vote for django-pagination here. Sensible and easy to use.

Yes, there is a useful tag to deal with pagination.

What's wrong with wrapping a generic function?

I would also recommend django-pagination. For most situations it's more than efficient.

Additional to django-pagination you might also find django-reversetag (http://github.com/ulope/dja... to be helpful in creating reusable pagination templates.

I've been using django-pagination on a few projects and it works well for these sorts of situations.

django-pagination looks like a pretty nice project. Seems to be a less verbose approach to what we've done. I like it :)

This is an extension to the pagination. I'm not sure what you're saying is "wrong", but I can assure you, this has been the most "sane" way we've come up with for pagination.

Here are your docs: http://docs.djangoproject.c...

I think you need to read up the django Pagination docs a couple more times, you got it all wrong.
