[Answer]-Paginator in python django crashes on dict

✅

The problem is not the pagination, but the way you serialize your data: serializers.serialize is built to serialize Django model instances (from a list or a QuerySet), nothing else. You can use the json module from the python stdlib to serialize ‘raw’ dictionaries, try for example:

import json
print json.dumps({'your': 'dict'})

You might need to convert the ValuesQuerySet to a vanilla list-of-dicts to convince the json module to work, though:

# [...]
data = paginator.page(1)
print json.dumps(list(data))
