At least for my Linux installation a limit of 9000 seems reasonable. Perhaps everybody on the list could do a quick check on their platform ?
On BSDI, which has a 2Mbyte default stack limit (but soft limit: users can set it higher even without help from root, and much higher with help) I can go as high as 8k recursions of the simple python-function type, and 5k recursions of one involving a C call (like a recursive __str__()).
Ok, this give us a 5000 limit as default... anyone with less ;-) (Note that with the limit being user settable making a lower limit the default shouldn't hurt anyone.) -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
