My take on digg-like pagination.

Save the code as 'templatetags/pagination_nav.py' in one of your apps.

It relies on a 'pagination_nav.html' template. Here is a base template:

{% if pages %}
<div class="bottom-pagination-nav">
{% if previous_url %}<a href="{{ previous_url }}">{% else %}<span>{% endif %}&laquo; Previous{% if previous_url %}</a>{% else %}</span>{% endif %}
{% for group in pages %}
{% for page in group %}
{% if page.current %}<span>{{ page.number }}</span>{% else %}<a href="{{ page.url }}">{{ page.number }}</a>{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if not forloop.last %}<span>...</span>{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if next_url %}<a href="{{ next_url }}">{% else %}<span>{% endif %}Next &raquo;{% if next_url %}</a>{% else %}</span>{% endif %}
</div>
{% endif %}
