Python ValueError: not allowed to raise maximum limit
- by Ricky Bobby
I'm using python 2.7.2 on mac os 10.7.3
I'm doing a recursive algorithm in python with more than 50 000 recursion levels.
I tried to increase the maximum recursion level to 1 000 000 but my python shell still exit after 18 000 recursion levels.
I tried to increase the resources available :
import resource
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_STACK, (2**29,-1))
sys.setrecursionlimit(10**6)
and I get this error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#58>", line 1, in <module>
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_STACK,(2**29,-1))
ValueError: not allowed to raise maximum limit
I don't know why I cannot raise the maximum limit ?
thanks for your suggestions .
