Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment:
The docs are already clear about that you play with `setrecursionlimit()` at your own risk: """ Set the maximum depth of the Python interpreter stack to limit. This limit prevents infinite recursion from causing an overflow of the C stack and crashing Python. The highest possible limit is platform-dependent. A user may need to set the limit higher when they have a program that requires deep recursion and a platform that supports a higher limit. This should be done with care, because a too-high limit can lead to a crash. """ If you see a crash instead of a `RecursionError` exception when you _don't_ shoot yourself in the foot this way, that might be interesting. But, as is, you're deliberately overriding a mechanism designed to prevent these kinds of crashes. ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41912> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
