I want to find a framework for pagination in Google App Engine.

Do you know of one?

+2  A: 

Pagination is not always easy-to-do, especially when you consider sorting and filtering. Check out this recipe as a start: http://appengine-cookbook.appspot.com/recipe/efficient-paging-for-any-query-and-any-model/

@Jason HallIf you take the time to read the article you link to, you will notice that the article itself actually links to a group discussion on a framework for doing easy pagination without custom properties. Oh, and the code in that group is the gaefy Pager that I reference in my answer.

A: 

You don't need a framework for this. Just read through this article, it's got basically everything you need to know.

If you want to do paging you should read about cursors. The article linked to by Jason was written before cursors were around. Cursors can simplify paging greatly, especially in cases that Andrew mentions, when dealing with sorts and filters.
