- """Find the maximum recursion limit that prevents core dumps
-
- This script finds the maximum safe recursion limit on a particular
- platform. If you need to change the recursion limit on your system,
- this script will tell you a safe upper bound. To use the new limit,
- call sys.setrecursionlimit.
-
- This module implements several ways to create infinite recursion in
- Python. Different implementations end up pushing different numbers of
- C stack frames, depending on how many calls through Python's abstract
- C API occur.
-
- After each round of tests, it prints a message
- Limit of NNNN is fine.
-
- It ends when Python causes a segmentation fault because the limit is
- too high. On platforms like Mac and Windows, it should exit with a
- MemoryError.
-
- NB: A program that does not use __methods__ can set a higher limit.
