Using a paginator with two models in the same view

[Some Developer]

I have two models: Thread and EmailThread. As the names suggest the
Thread model relates to threads created via the web interface and the
EmailThread model relates to threads created via email.

I want to display a list of all threads from both models on the same
page and I want to paginate this page. If there was only a single model
to paginate the page by then it would be easy but I'm having difficulty
finding a way to paginate a page that has two models listed on the same
page.

Can anyone suggest an option? I guess I could split them so that each
model had its own listing view but that seems a bit messy to me. It
would be much nicer if they were held on the same page.

Thanks for any help.

Paginator will work on any list/tuple of objects, not just querysets. If you have a way to transform your 2 querysets into a single list you can use that as your pagination object.
Not knowing enough about your architecture I can't really discuss how you might go about the transformation step.

Ah, I didn't realise that.

I think I should be able to do the transformation pretty easily. Thanks for the info that has sorted out a rather irrating problem I have been having. I'll give that a try tomorrow when I have some free time.
