Hi all, I have a question with some code I'm writting:
def main(): if option == 1: function_a() elif option == 2: function_b() else: raise 'option has to be either 1 or 2' if iteration == True: main() def function_a(): print 'hello from function a' return None def function_b(): print 'hello from function b' return None iteration = True option = 1 main() I want an infinite loop, but after some iterations (996) it breaks: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]$ python test.py hello from function a hello from function a hello from function a . . . hello from function a hello from function a Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 35, in ? main() File "test.py", line 17, in main main() File "test.py", line 17, in main . . . . File "test.py", line 17, in main main() File "test.py", line 17, in main main() File "test.py", line 5, in main function_a() RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded I don't understand it. Why am I not allowed to iterate infinitely? Something about the functions? What should I do for having an infinite loop? Thanks in advance for your help, Adrián. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
