| # The following example may crash or not depending on the platform. |
| # E.g. on 32-bit Intel Linux in a "standard" configuration it seems to |
| # crash on Python 2.5 (but not 2.4 nor 2.3). On Windows the import |
| # eventually fails to find the module, possibly because we run out of |
| # file handles. |
| |
| # The point of this example is to show that sys.setrecursionlimit() is a |
| # hack, and not a robust solution. This example simply exercises a path |
| # where it takes many C-level recursions, consuming a lot of stack |
| # space, for each Python-level recursion. So 1000 times this amount of |
| # stack space may be too much for standard platforms already. |
