[issue26545] os.walk is limited by python's recursion limit

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

I think the code should be left as-is (we've used some variation of recursion for walking a very long time with no reported real-world problems).  Perhaps a documentation note can be added to the effect that the there is a recursion limit and that it can be changed by the user if needed.
