No, it is not. In standard Python, the program
def rec(n):
rec(n-1)
n=1
while 1:
try:
rec(n)
except RuntimeError:
break
print "The recursion limit is", n
will terminate. In the modified Python, it will not terminate.
It is a change in behaviour, and thus a language feature.

No, you can't: You forgot already what all the local variables where.
