in case you ever need deeply nested recursion: one solution is to use the already mentioned sys.setrecursionlimit(n) another is to use your own stack dummy example: def fact_recursive(n): if n>0: return fact_recursive(n-1)*n else: return 1 def fact_iterative(n): stack = [] while n > 0: stack.append(n) n -= 1 ret = 1 while stack: ret *= stack.pop() return ret actually you can always rewrite recursion with a stack and iterations note that if you use version >= 2.4, then collections.deque is faster for stack (and especially for queue) data structure than list. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
