I just spent a while chasing my tail because I was passing the results of get_list_or_404 to the QuerySetPaginator, not realizing that it returns a list and not a QuerySet object.
When I tried to get the count, it raised the exception: "TypeError: count() takes exactly one argument (0 given)" I probably would have realized the stupidity of my error more quickly if _get_count was making sure that I passed QuerySetPaginator a QuerySet object and not a list. Would there be any merit to checking the type of the object_list parameter? I'm not sure of the ramifications, so I'm just asking, not necessarily suggesting :) I see that there is an unreviewed ticket that would obviate a type check: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7478 Here's what I saw: >>> from django.core.paginator import Paginator, QuerySetPaginator >>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User >>> from django.shortcuts import get_list_or_404 >>> >>> ul1 = User.objects.all() >>> ul2 = get_list_or_404(User.objects.all()) >>> >>> pp = Paginator(ul1, 2) >>> pp.count 1 >>> qp = QuerySetPaginator(ul2, 2) >>> qp.count Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/home2/tbo/webapps/django_wsgi/django/core/paginator.py", line 70, in _get_count TypeError: count() takes exactly one argument (0 given) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
