RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

suecsi · 06-03-2010, 06:20 PM

I'm sure it might be somewhere in the stickies, but some of those threads are so long and I couldn't find it.

I am trying to convert an epub to mobi format ready for a new Kindle.

The epub does not have DRM.

It converts to other formats ok.

But on mobi it gets the error:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

Should I open a ticket at the Calibre website as I have saved out the error file it produces. It looks like it is parsing the epub absolutely fine and then something blows it out.

open a ticket and attach the epub

Kovid

I have raised a ticket #5684 but unfortunately can't attach the EPUB file as it is 5.31MB (it is a biography with quite a few photos inside it).

I did attach the error text in full.

I have been able to convert the EPUB to LRF and then to MOBI which has worked out ok, but might still be worth a look at the error in case anyone else gets it?

Many thanks

I've had the same problem, see ticket 6155.

I just ran into it as well. I'm not certain as to which ebook it was attempting to process, however. I'm attempting to import a rather large library, so it's difficult to ascertain.

You can open the job details window (lower right) and find out which book failed and it includes the details of the conversion including the error. As mentioned above open a ticket and attach the book.
