Thanks for the reply, Mike. I want to use the pager.

I'm new to Pylons, so maybe there is something I am not understanding about the philosophy here: I'm using FormAlchemy because I want a library that will help me generate forms and lists from result-sets. I don't understand why including pagination in those sets wouldn't be considered a general feature of such a library. Maybe FormEncode or ToscaWidgets does this more in the way I'm expecting?
