This is easy! If you've got a query object q:
q.count() - returns the count of elements matching the query
q[a:b] - returns a slice of the data set via limit/offset
Also check out the paginate module in the new WebHelpers. I haven't
converted any apps to it from my old paging code, but if I was
starting now, I would use it.
