I assume you are referring to QT webview. "ajax via jquery does not work." Can you be more specific? what is the evidence that it's not working? It sounds like you've got a server running on your Local Host. What does the server tell you about its side of that Ajax request? -- https://mail.pyth

Well, I used to know the answer to this question but I haven't done this kind of thing since 2009, so hopefully what I suggest is not out of date, so for everything I say here assume I put provisos in like it used to be or whatever. Anyway if the type of a file is executable , for example a file w

And based on a determinist solution? Yes, you can check the extension but sometimes I prefer to be sure. For example, the API of Win32 has the GetTypeBinaryW function, this one could be used but I need to create a mapping, with CPython api, ctypes or CFFI. I could also use the 2 first bytes of

I thought this new C# feature would be a good thing to add to Python: https://vcsjones.com/2019/01/30/csharp-8-using-declarations/ I find the nesting required by context managers to be at odds with the broad intent. The code indentation in python should reflect the program logic and flow as much
