File-Backend or Filemanagement

Hi list,

i'm writing a Django application that has the management of textfiles on
the server as one of the requirements. I've already created a model that
parses the textfiles and provides a way of editing the files. To choose
the indivdiual textfiles i created a simple view that does a file
listing (basically an os.listdir()), but that is not really a flexible
solution (i.e. i would like to have pagination). I was wondering if it
was possible to use a ListView and use the file listing as a source of
objects instead of a database query?

Another option would be to go deeper and try to write a 'file-based'
database backend. Are there any howtos to write database backends for
Django?

thanks and cheers,
Muri
