Casting a raw query set as a list for pagination

[chambers24889]

I'm trying to implement Django's built in pagination feature with a raw 
query set. I've researched the issue and the answer is I need to cast my 
set as a list. Something like this:

paginator = Paginator(refg, 100) # Show 100 contacts per page
paginator._count = len(list(refg))

>From my understanding, setting the count field for the paginator should 
>prevent Django from trying to get the size of my raw set, but this is not the 
>case.  I'm still getting the "RawQuerySet has no len() operation" error.  I've 
>attched the relevant code from my views.py and my template.  

Can I get some advice as to how I can fix this error?


views.py
refg = RefGene.objects.raw(qrefg) 

paginator = Paginator(refg, 100) # Show 100 contacts per page 
paginator._count = len(list(refg)) 

# using django's generated forms 
c = RequestContext(request, { 
"refg": refg, ... }) 

return HttpResponse(t.render(c)) 


template

{% autopaginate refg %}
{% for r in refg %}


{{ r.data}}
{{ r.loc}}


{% endfor %}
{% paginate %}

Pagination with file upload (MultiValueDictKeyError)

[chambers24889]

I have a simple form that takes a user upload, queries a database, and 
displays results in a table.  I receive the following error whenever I try 
to go to the second, third, fourth, etc page:

MultiValueDictKeyError at /result/ 

"Key 'batch' not found in "

 Request Method: GET  Request URL: http://xxx/result/?page=4  Django 
Version: 1.5  Exception Type: MultiValueDictKeyError  Exception Value:

I've found two possible causes: I'm using a "request.POST" on the objects 
I'm paginating when it should be a "request.GET".  The issue here is I 
believe I need to have this as a POST because I'm getting data from an 
uploaded file.

The second cause I do not understand, but it's at this link: 
https://django-pagination.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/usage.txt under "A 
Note About Uploads".  I assume this is directed at implementing a paginator 
object in views.py, but my only pagination code are the tags in my results 
page template.  

Does anyone have experience with this issue and/or have a solution?
