python - Behaviour of "C:" with ntpath module -


cpython 3.4.1

>>> import ntpath p >>> p.isabs('c:') false >>> p.isabs('c:\\') true >>> p.join('c:', 'foo') 'c:foo' >>> p.join('c:\\', 'foo') 'c:\\foo' >>>

what have expected

>>> import ntpath p >>> p.isabs('c:') true >>> p.join('c:', 'foo') 'c:\\foo' >>> # others same
  1. why c: not considered absolute, c:\ is?
  2. why ntpath.join() not add slash between c: , foo?

why c: not considered absolute

because without additional slash means “the current directory of c: drive” (each drive having own current-directory in dos/windows):

c:\> cd windows c:\windows\> python python 2.7.11. (default, ...) >>> import os >>> os.listdir('c:') ['0.log', 'addins', 'apppatch', ...

(this listing of c:\windows directory, not root c:\.)

why ntpath.join() not add slash between c: , foo?

maybe wanted file foo in c: drive's current directory.

practical upshot: because path not ‘absolute’ doesn't mean it's relative actual current working directory. similarly, \ absolute path, still depends on current working drive.

(and riscospath weirder; in general, posix platform on ‘absoluteness’ useful concept.)

css - Make div keyboard-scrollable in jQuery Mobile? -

from can tell, although jquery-mobile-powered pages can contain divs overflow set scroll or auto, , these divs can scrolled one-screen bar or mouse wheel, cannot scrolled using arrow keys, page-up/page-down, or home/end. instead, official "page" div (with data-role="page") absorbs input. perhaps other divs can't acquire focus, i'm not sure. is there way around this? edit: jsfiddle of simple example: https://jsfiddle.net/qogz0shx/ <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquerymobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile.min.js"> </script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.css"/> <style> #outer { overflow:scroll; height: 50vh; width: 50vw; } #inner { height: 500vh; width: 500vw; } ...

(and yes disable button when user clicks submit button). unicorn 4.8.2 ruby 1.9.3 rails 3.2.14 any great! thanks! although may not fix problem, upgrade ruby 2.0.0. there blog mentioning idea upgrade ruby 2.0.0 if using unicorn. for example: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-optimize-unicorn-workers-in-a-ruby-on-rails-app specifically: if using ruby 1.9, ...
