Unfortunately, Ranger (the file manager in question) wraps a lot of stuff
in one big exception handler. Hence there isn't much choice. The original
wasn't actually in an infinite recursion, too, but just a recursion over a
large directory.
Is there a reason that Python 3 can't be made to work like Python 2 and
PyPy, and -if not- should it? The catchable fail would be much nicer than
just bombing the program.
In the meantime the algorithm should just be reworked, but it seems like a
larger step than should be needed.
If nothing else, the exception frame is huge. I probably would have

I've found a new option. As a test, here's a simplified version without the
property:
def loop():
try:
(lambda: None)()
except:
pass
loop()
try:
loop()
except RuntimeError:
pass
which is pretty much Oscar Benjamin's, but less stupid.
