Want to use Django pagination and bootstrap's paginator div? Want to customise and avoid installing an entirely new app? Just copy, paste and customise the below.

template.html

<!-- Assume spreadsheets is a django pagination object and pages is an iterable of page numbers to display -->
<!-- Note: this doesn't preserve GET parameters or hash fragments -->

<div class="pagination">
  <ul>
  {% if spreadsheets.has_previous %}
    <li><a href="?page={{ spreadsheets.previous_page_number }}">&laquo;</a></li>
  {% else %}
    <li class="disabled"><a href="?page={{ spreadsheets.previous_page_number }}">&laquo;</a></li>
  {% endif %}
  {% for page in pages %}
    {% if page %}
      {% ifequal page spreadsheets.number %}
    <li class="active"><a href="#">{{ page }}</a></li>
      {% else %}
    <li><a href="?page={{ page }}">{{ page }}</a></li>
      {% endifequal %}
    {% else %}
    <li class="disabled"><a href="#">...</a></li>
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
  {% if spreadsheets.has_next %}
    <li><a href="?page={{ spreadsheets.next_page_number }}">&raquo;</a></li>
  {% else %}
    <li class="disabled"><a href="?page={{ spreadsheets.next_page_number }}">&raquo;</a></li>
  {% endif %}
  </ul>
</div>

views.py

# To create the pages context variable...
#
# Note: you should check page is an integer.
page = request.GET.get('page')
lower = max(int(page)-3, 1)
upper = min([int(page)+3, paginator.num_pages])
pages = range(lower, upper + 1)
if upper < paginator.num_pages:
    pages.append(None)
