But then people are going to complain that their app seems to hang up
on pypy, and neither they nor we have any clue what is going on ---
until we figure out that they used sys.setrecursionlimit() to put a
bound on recursion and catch the RuntimeError.  That's at least the
reason for which I suggested that calling sys.setrecursionlimit()
should at least print a warning.  Now I agree that maybe the message
of the warning is not the clearest one.


A bientôt,

Armin.
