The Pagination class does not convert arguements into ints and fails. This is the documented behaviour however the view would be more generic if this could be varied like this. This can be reproduced by adding the following to your urls.py {{{ urlpatterns += patterns('django.views.generic.list_detail', (r'^object_list/(?P[0-9]?)/page(?P[0-9]+)/$', 'object_list', object_list_dict), ) }}} A request to this url will cause the following traceback {{{ ====================================================================== ERROR: test_finds_past (regressiontests.views.tests.generic.object_list.ObjectDetailTest) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File ""/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/tests/regressiontests/views/tests/generic/object_list.py"", line 17, in test_finds_past response = self.client.get('/views/object_list/%s/page1/' % paginate_by) File ""/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/django/test/client.py"", line 290, in get response = self.request(**r) File ""/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/django/core/handlers/base.py"", line 100, in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File ""/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/django/views/generic/list_detail.py"", line 60, in object_list page_obj = paginator.page(page_number) File ""/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/django/core/paginator.py"", line 41, in page if top + self.orphans >= self.count: TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, int found ---------------------------------------------------------------------- }}} the object_list generic view already converts the page argument to an int. It would then make sense to convert paginate_by in the same place in the view ",,closed,Generic views,1.2,,fixed,,,Unreviewed,1,0,0,0,0,0
