========

*python decorator that increases the stack size for the function. This is useful

for highly recursive function (albeit highly recursive function are bad).*

Description

-----------

This decorator increases the stack size for the function and its recursion

limit. The function runs in a separated thread with a stack size specified

by the ``stacksize`` parameter (``default: 128MiB``). Also the recursion

limit can be modified by the ``recursionlimit`` parameter (``default: 1M``),

but be aware that this is a variable shared by the whole python environment,

so a subsequent invocation of a decorated function may change it.

.. code:: python

    @bigstack

    def function(...):

        """Highly recursive function."""

        ...

.. code:: python

    @bigstack(stacksize=2**30)    # stack size = 1GB

    def function(...):

        """Highly recursive function."""

        ...

Installation

------------

The package has been uploaded to `PyPI`_, so you can install it with pip:

    pip install bigstack
