[Python] Django - pagination for inline models

I realize this is probably a beginner level error, but I'm out of ideas. I need to add pagination to Inline model for admin page. I'm using Django 1.8.4 ( yup, I know it's really old ) and python 3.6.15.

Inside admin.py:

class ArticleInline(GrappelliSortableHiddenMixin, admin.TabularInline):
model = ArticleSection.articles.through
raw_id_fields = ("article",)
related_lookup_fields = {
'fk':['article'],
}
extra = 1

class ArticleSectionsAdmin(reversion.VersionAdmin):
list_display = ('name','slug','template_file_name')
inlines = [ArticleInline]

admin.site.register(ArticleSection,ArticleSectionsAdmin)


Inside models.py:

class ArticleSection(Section):
articles = models.ManyToManyField(Article, verbose_name=_("article"), through="M2MSectionArticle", related_name="sections")
limit = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default=10)

class Meta:
db_table = 'sections_article_section'
verbose_name = _("article section")
verbose_name_plural = _("articles sections")

def content(self, request):
query = Q(m2msectionarticle__visible_to__isnull=True) & Q(m2msectionarticle__visible_from__isnull=True)
query.add(Q(m2msectionarticle__visible_to__gte=timezone.now(), m2msectionarticle__visible_from__lte=timezone.now()), Q.OR)

limit = self.limit_override if hasattr(self,
'limit_override') and self.limit_override is not None else self.limit
return self.articles.filter(query).published().prefetch_related('images').order_by('m2msectionarticle__position')[:limit]

class M2MSectionArticle(models.Model):
section = models.ForeignKey(ArticleSection, related_name='section_articles')
article = models.ForeignKey(Article, verbose_name=_('article'))
position = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(_("position"), default=0)
visible_from = models.DateTimeField("Widoczne od", null=True, blank=True)
visible_to = models.DateTimeField("Widoczne do", null=True, blank=True)

class Meta:
db_table = 'sections_section_articles'
ordering = ["position"]


I found django-admin-inline-paginator and it seems to work for everyone else, but I get "Function has keyword-only parameters or annotations, use getfullargspec() API which can support them" when I use TabularInlinePaginated instead of admin.TabularInline.

from django_admin_inline_paginator.admin import TabularInlinePaginated

class ArticleInline(GrappelliSortableHiddenMixin, TabularInlinePaginated):
model = ArticleSection.articles.through
raw_id_fields = ("article",)
related_lookup_fields = {
'fk':['article'],
}
extra = 1
per_page = 10


print(inspect.getfullargspec(TabularInlinePaginated)) returns :

FullArgSpec(args=['self', 'parent_model', 'admin_site'], varargs=None, varkw=None, defaults=None, kwonlyargs=[], kwonlydefaults=None, annotations={})


but I still dont know what to do.
