Subject: bpo-32137: The repr of deeply nested dict now raises a RecursionError (#4570)
X-Git-Tag: v3.7.0a3~20
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1fb72d2ad243c965d4432b4e93884064001a2607;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

bpo-32137: The repr of deeply nested dict now raises a RecursionError (#4570)

instead of crashing due to a stack overflow.

This perhaps will fix similar problems in other extension types.
