paging search results

Hi,
I've read that paging is most efficient when applied to the
hits object 
but I'm not sure what's the best way to implement this. 
This is what i 
have:

       searcher = IndexSearcher(indexDir)
        hits = searcher.search(query)
       
        max = hits.length()
        start = 0
        end = 50
        results = []
       
        for i in range(start, end):
            if i > max:
                break
           
            results.append(hits[i])
       
        return results

Is there a better way of doing this? I'm new to PyLucene and
any 
pointers would be greatly appreciated.

A great source of answers to general Lucene API usage
questions is:
     java-userlucene.apache.org
Even though this pertains to the Java APIs, the PyLucene
APIs are the same, 
except for some additions that make the PyLucene APIs more
pythonic. All 
answers you can get there to general Lucene API questions
are equally 
applicable to PyLucene.
