You remind me of the conversation between the philosopher and an attractive lady whom he was seated next to at dinner. He asked her if she would sleep with him for a million dollars, to which she readily agreed. So he followed this by asking her if she'd sleep with him for a dollar. She replied: "No. Do you take me for a prostitutte?", to which his riposte was "We have already established that fact, and are now merely haggling about the price". You just don't like the specific limit that Python imposes. So increase it with sys.setrecursionlimit(). regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden Sorry, the dog ate my .sigline -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
