I've just checked in Misc/find_recursionlimit.py that uses recursion through various __ methods (.e.g __repr__) to generate infinite recursion. These tend to use more C stack frames that a simple recursive function. I've set the Python recursion_limit down to 2500, which is safe for all tests in find_recursionlimit on my Linux box. The limit can be bumped back up, so I'm happy to have it set low by default. Does anyone have a platform where this limit is no low enough? Jeremy
