    Much like Django's ``ObjectPaginator`` (which it uses), but always
    represents a specific current page instead of just providing an interface
    to the data. Based on the active page it makes a number of properties
    available which mostly work exactly like the context that the
    ``object_list`` generic view provides.

    ``__init__`` takes the same arguments as ``ObjectPaginator``, plus an
    additional parameter ``page`` to initialize the active page number. It does
    not need to be an int, i.e. it can come directly from ``request.GET``; if
    conversion to an integer fails, a ``Http404`` exception is raised.
    
    You can also later assign to to ``page`` attribute.
