Need to return a count of the results in total.

The results should really return a count of the total number of entities. This
will allow for proper pagination on the the client side.
I have looked at the code for hours now and can't figure out how to do it
myself so I was hoping someone could. I am still learning python so that script
is still somewhat foreign to me :(

In general, robust APIs don't return a total count because it is a. time
consuming to compute and b. often inaccurate anyway. likewise, the underlying
app engine data store doesn't provide a total count of the results, so it's not
possible.
