"""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.
