That sound promising.

I'm building a library to generate markov models from text, much like
dadadodo.

You can get the code here.

When I run my testsuit that tries to pickle a generated markov model I
get this:

python test/basicsuite.py

1000
E
======================================================================
ERROR: test_pickle (__main__.BasicTestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test/basicsuite.py", line 73, in test_pickle
    print sys.settrecursionlimit(4000)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'settrecursionlimit'

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.002s



If I up the recusionlimit the testsuit will segfault.
