Yes, sorry. I was just about to explain that. The 'of course' in my post was silly. In MY program, the recursion limit is relevant for performance, because I use constructs of the following kind: def analyze(sentence): try: ... except RuntimeError: ... I.e. I try to apply certain recursive rules to a sentence. If this doesn't lead to any results (up to recursion limit N), then I skip the analysis. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
