Display only some of the page numbers by django pagination

Question

I am using the django paginator in the template. Its working ok, but not good when there\'s large numbers of pages.

views.py:

def blog(request):

Gonna throw this in. I came up with it because it lets you know there are more pages on either side.

{% if page_obj.has_previous %}
    

{% else %}
    

{% endif %}

{% if page_obj.number|add:'-4' > 1 %}
    
…
{% endif %}

{% for i in page_obj.paginator.page_range %}
    {% if page_obj.number == i %}
        
{{ i }} (current)
    {% elif i > page_obj.number|add:'-5' and i < page_obj.number|add:'5' %}
        
{{ i }}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{% if page_obj.paginator.num_pages > page_obj.number|add:'4' %}
    
…
{% endif %}

{% if page_obj.has_next %}
    

{% else %}
    

{% endif %}

And it looks like this:
