By default, Python has a recursion limit of 1000 deep; that is, your function is calling itself 1000 times without returning. In this case, the only reason why you hit the recursion limit is if you have a directory which is 1000 deep (quite unlikely, Windows has a directory depth limit much lower than that). Or your function somehow never returns, in a typical recursive function, it's usually because you have problem in the precondition. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
