Question #203727 on Sikuli changed:

Status: Open => Answered
RaiMan proposed the following answer:
Running things endlessly is done using a loop, that never ends and has
to be aborted from extern:
while True:
print "I run endlessly"
wait(1)
After waiting 1 second it prints again - endlessly.
So with your loop
while runs >= 0:
main()
you already have your endless repeating of main(): every time you reach
the last line in main(), main is ended and started all over again.
But with your construct, you will
- start with main()
- call leave
- which calls main()
- which calls leave()
- which calls main()
- ....
and none of these functions will ever be ended, which will lead to an "out of
memory" exception after some time.
So the conclusion:
- to repeat something (even endlessly) we have the looping constructs while and
for
- recursive programming (a function calls itself or a function that called it)
is a tool to solve complex problems that might iterate many times, but come to
an end by itself. These kind of workflows we script with Sikuli do not have
these characteristics.
