Infinite recursion

@Stefan2

Wasn’t that in 3.11?

Yes, I misremembered.

@JoBe

Wouldn’t emitting a Warning be a good compromise then, so the user is warned, and knows how to exit the code?

That is what RecursionError is for. It just isn’t being raised here probably because of a bug.

@JoBe

If you want to exit, use 'CTRL + \'

I think you misunderstand what Ctrl-\ is. In my terminal on Linux Ctrl-\ sense SIGQUIT which is a more forceful way of telling a process (not necessarily Python) to stop.
