It may be noted that in the case of the second "common buggy situation" above, python 3.12 prints an erroneous message in the stack trace: "[Previous line repeated 997 more times]" even after you have successfully increased the recursion depth. This message is correct only for the case of the default recursion depth of 1000. I recommend using a try/except structure to catch the "RecursionError" exception to avoid any confusion over whether a increased recursion depth was exceeded.
