hello,

i have a small function which mimics binary counting.  it runs fine as
long as the input is not too long, but if i give it input longer than
8 characters it gives

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp

i'm not too sure what i am doing improperly.  is there really a lot of
recursion in this code?

==================

import sys

def ch4(item, n=0):
        if n < len(item):
                if item[n] == '0':
                        item[n] = '1'
                        print ''.join(item)
                        ch4(item)
                elif item[n] == '1':
                        item[n] = '0'
                        ch4(item, n+1)

ch4(list(sys.argv[1]))

==================

this function expects input in the form of a string of zeros, like
this:

python test-bin.py 00000000

and is expected to output a list of permutations like this:

$ python test-bin.py 0000
1000
0100
1100
0010
1010
0110
1110
0001
1001
0101
1101
0011
1011
0111
1111

thanks for all help!

sincerely,
proctor
