http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.setrecursionlimit
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/sys.html#sys.setrecursionlimit

Doc for Python 2.7 says:
"A user may need to set the limit higher when she has ..."

Doc for Python 3.3 says:
"A user may need to set the limit higher when they have ..."


IMHO "she" and "they" are not right here.

"they" is right and "she" is actually right too.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
