[pypy-issue] [issue715] maximum recursion depth exceeded

[Tanel Liiv]

Tanel Liiv <tanel at povi.ee> added the comment:

This is clarified in http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/cpython_differences.html

"sys.setrecursionlimit() is ignored (and not needed) on PyPy. On CPython it
would set the maximum number of nested calls that can occur before a
RuntimeError is raised; on PyPy overflowing the stack also causes RuntimeErrors,
but the limit is checked at a lower level. (The limit is currently hard-coded at
768 KB, corresponding to roughly 1480 Python calls on Linux.)"
