Hey,

I just got the error message in the title when trying to run a script with python.

You can find the coredump, stacktrace, and the scripts I ran at http://the-compiler.org/tmp/pythoncrash/

The command line I ran:
python -u pythonomegle.py

Running Python 3.2.2 on Archlinux.

If you have a self-contained script that exhibits the problem, please could you attach it directly to the issue?

[terryjreedy]

There are several other 'stack overflow' issues (just do a search on that phrase). Please take a look and see if yours is a duplicate of any of the others.

If this does seem different, please reduce your code to the minimum needed and attach the file here.

The link doesn't work anymore and I'm unable to reproduce the issue. Please reopen the issue if you still get a stack overflow. Don't forget to attach your script, too.
