PAGINATION_INVALID_PAGE_RAISES_404 does not work

[carljm]

If you set PAGINATION_INVALID_PAGE_RAISES_404 to True, the autopaginate call does indeed raise Http404, but this is then caught by a catchall "except Exception" in Django's template system, resulting in a debug page, or a 500 error in production.

Not sure what the solution is here; short of patching Django, seems like template tags can't raise 404.

just set DEBUG to False in settings.py

elky: this has nothing to do with DEBUG: it will raise a 500 error (TemplateSyntaxError: Caught Http404 while rendering) even with DEBUG = False.

Hm, bug fixed this??

This ever gonna happen?

I think this project is dead. I might recommend an active fork: https://github.com/zyga/django-pagination

Does the Linaro fork fix this bug?

[gtaylor]

I believe so. If not, report it to his tracker and he's good about getting stuff fixed.
