Long before you've run an infinite number of processes, a real resource will be exhausted. You are probably creating zombie processes (you can check with /bin/ps). To get rid of them, execute os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG) (or something similar to that) periodically from within your python script. Possibly execute that statement repeatedly until it indicates that there are no more zombies. A good time/place to do this is right before you start another process.
