Python script runs fine for a while then returns MemoryError (python 3.3) -


i have small script utilizes python imaging library module python3.3 (on win7, 8 gb of ram) take screenshot of small (~40x50) pixel area of screen once each second , compare image have detect particular pattern , execute 2 other modules created if found. script seems work flawlessly first 30 minutes or so, script crashes , following error:

traceback (most recent call last):
file "<string>", line 420, in run_nodebug
file "c:\users\nate simon\dropbox\captchalibrary\detectnrun.py", line 68, in <module>:
im2 = imagegrab.grab((left,upper,right,lower))
file "c:\python33\lib\site-packages\pil\imagegrab.py", line 47, in grab:
size, data = grabber()
memoryerror

i've adjusted time between screenshots , delay when program crashes.

here seems offending code:

im2 = imagegrab.grab((left,upper,right,lower)) # take screenshot @ given coordinates  x in range(im2.size[0]): # section changes image black/white better comparing might relevant.     y in range(im2.size[1]):         pixel = im2.getpixel((x,y))         if pixel[0] < 40 or pixel[1] < 40 or pixel[2] < 40:             color = (0, 0, 0)         else:             color = (255, 255, 255)         im2.putpixel((x,y), color)

there no lists, dictionaries, or databases being added in script, every time runs old screenshot overwritten in memory (it never saved disk).

also possibly relevant: time module using sleep() delays , time() keep track of system time. using win32api mouse/keyboard inputs , using tkinter read clipboard in following lines:

    c = tk()     c.withdraw()     result = c.clipboard_get()     c.destroy()

in section, clipboard cleared before new data added c.clipboard_clear()

i unable find adequate solution solve memory issue (or replicate under different conditions), increased interval between actions 1 second 15 seconds , have yet memory error again.

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, ...
