That's an error from Python. It tells me something in script.py is
not quite right. Impossible to tell without seeing script.py in
general. You can increase the recursion depth by doing something like

import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(9000)

Where '9000' is a limit you can set and vary. However, this might
indeed be papering over the cracks, and not fixing the fault.
