Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] recursion error?

[Waylan L. <way...@ic...>]

The error seems pretty self-explanatory to me. You are getting a recursion error in the `build_correct` method of the TOC Extension. A quick look at the source indicates that that method recursively calls itself to turn a flat list of headers (h1-6) taken from the document and rearranges them into a properly nested list to use as the Table of Contents. 

The short answer would be to not use that extension with such a long document. But, the correct answer I suppose would be to refactor the `build_correct` method to not be recursive - which may be easier said that done.
