You give up too easily! Here's another way:
--->
def get_steps2(pos=0, steps=0, level = 100):
if steps == 0:
pos = random.randint(-1,1)
if pos == 0:
return steps
steps += 2
pos += random.randint(-1,1)
if level == 0:
return (pos, steps)
res = get_steps2(pos,steps, level-1)
if not isinstance(res, tuple):
return res
return get_steps2(res[0], res[1], level-1)
import random
for i in range(200):
print ( get_steps2() )
print("done")
input("")
<---
Now the limit is 1267650600228229401496703205376. I hope that's enough.
