You can alter the recursion limit using sys.setrecursionlimit:

    setrecursionlimit(n)

    Set the maximum depth of the Python interpreter stack to n.  This
    limit prevents infinite recursion from causing an overflow of the
C
    stack and crashing Python.  The highest possible limit is
platform-
    dependent.
