items allowed on the last page." -- agreed?
Hi Tim!
Much better, but it's still confusing. In the future maybe we should
consider the possibility of doing something like that:
{{{
>>> from django.core.paginator import Paginator
>>> objects = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h']
>>> p = Paginator(objects, 3, min_orphans=2)
>>> page2 = p.page(2)
>>> page2.object_list
output: ['d', 'e', 'f']
>>> page2.has_next()
output: True
>>> page3 = p.page(3)
>>> page3.object_list
output: ['g', 'h']
}}}
**Optional arguments**
''**min_orphans**: The minimum number of items allowed on the last page.''
It would be much more obvious. On the other hand, I know it implies
breaking backwards compatibility. Just and idea.
Thanks.
