sometimes delimter='/' doesn't work in get_objects

[ghost]

Hi, i am using pyrax API to fetch objects from container.
sometimes i've seen that delimiter = '/' in get_objects() method on container doesn't get prefix object like amazon or google storage service do. why?

Can you give me an example of what you are expecting? Pyrax supports both the delimiter and prefix parameters, as explained here.

[ghost]

yes.
what i expect is to get only key part with occurrence at first '/'.
for ex. if i have an object say 'question/one' then i want to retrieve only 'question' part of the key by delimiter '/'(like other cloud API does says prefix object.), but the problem is that i get only those keys who has no slashes inside their name.
is there any hack here to get this?

like in your example(the link you shared) :
i want also to get the prefix 'stuff' by delimiter '/' and only 'stuff' object(like prefix) no others.

help me how can i achieve this?

If you have an object named 'question/one', what do you mean that you only want to retrieve the 'question' part? Do you mean all objects that begin with 'question'?

[ghost]

yes.
like there are lots of objects start with 'question' part for ex. 'question/one', 'question/two', 'question/three' and so on... and let's take another objects name starts with 'answer' for ex. 'answer/one', 'answer/two', 'answer/three' and so on... Then i want retrieve only 'question' part (not whole key i.e. 'question/one') among all keys who has 'question' prefix and also same as in 'answer'.
The reason behind asking this question that, is there any method in pyrax API to achieve this? otherwise I have to put extra efforts in hard-code way.

even REST API support this feature as describes in this link:
http://docs.rackspace.com/files/api/v1/cf-devguide/content/Pseudo-Hierarchical_Folders_Directories-d1e1580.html
in this link by delimiter '/' only the pseudo directory photos/ is displayed.
I mean why this feature is not added in pyrax API?.

I found why this is happened. My main concern was to show rackspace cloud files in hierarchical structure as other cloud services do like google storage and amazon s3. I don't know it is bug or why they are doing this but by the get_objects method i'll never achieve this subdir part until things will be fixed in pyrax and @andreabedini you never get stuff part as i know the bug in the code in list_subdirs.method.
Finally i achieved what i expected.
