Matthew Barnett <pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:
As far as I can tell, back in 2003, changes were made to replace the recursive
scheme which used stack allocation with a non-recursive scheme which used heap
allocation in order to the improve the behaviour.
To me it looks like an oversight and that the example should have been removed
at the time, but unfortunately was retained and just updated in subsequent
releases to refer to the Python version ("python3.2" in this case).
