Django Ajax would allow you to make Ajax calls to a Django view. You could wrap your results in a list then cache that. From there just pop the first 50 (or whatever size you want to set) when you initially render the view. Then pop your cache on the Ajax call.

Something like:

@django_ajax
def paginated_cache(request):
    more_results = [cache.get('your_results').pop() for result in range(50)]
    # turn this to json, wrap in dictionary and return

A more detailed instruction is on the django ajax page. This is for a smaller result size. For bigger results you may want to use something like a cursor though.
