even if it was possible, i don't think it's what you would really want.
logically, this would return an indefinite number of records,
somewhere between 0 and 10, depending on what's in your table, not the
first 10 records of people who's name starts w/ an 'a'.
why are you not doing this?
UTPerson.objects.filter(name__startswith='a')[:10]

it's a classified ads service that
shows on a map where the seller is

plus it's 100% free :)
