Comment:

 I've been looking at this today and there's quite a few places where the
 assumption that the paginator is dealing with a countable set is made.
 Making it work where you don't want to/can't count the number of items in
 the set means changing:

 1. the {% search %} admin tag
 2. the {% pagination %} admin tag
 3. the ChangeList class (in changelist_view method)
 4. the paginator to one that doesn't implement count, num_pages and
 page_range properties

 1 & 2 can be fixed by overriding the change_list.html template to use
 alternative template tags (e.g. {% infinite_pagination %}). 3 requires
 deriving from ModelAdmin and cut'n'pasting the entire method. 4 is
 available here: http://code.google.com/p/django-
 pagination/source/browse/trunk/pagination/paginator.py

 However this is really ugly and a lot of work for someone.

 I think ideally the template tags and ChangeList class should be updated
 to not assume the ability to access the count, num_pages and page_range
 properties - ie have an "UncountedPaginator". Possibly this would be a
 base class of Paginator so you'd have NullPaginator (displays everything)
 -> UncountedPaginator -> Paginator.
