On BSDI, which has a 2Mbyte default stack limit (but soft limit: users can set it higher even without help from root, and much higher with help) I can go as high as 8k recursions of the simple python-function type, and 5k recursions of one involving a C call (like a recursive __str__()). I don't remember ever seeing a system with less than 2Mbyte stack, except for seriously memory-deprived systems. I do know that the 2Mbyte stacklimit on BSDI is enough to cause 'pine' (sucky but still popular mailprogram) much distress when handling large mailboxes, so we usually set the limit higher anyway.
