internal_print() is called from only one place, with the `nesting` argument wired to 0, therefore the following chunk of code in internal_print() never gets a chance to be executed:

    if (nesting > 10) {
        PyErr_SetString(PyExc_RuntimeError, "print recursion");
        return -1;
    }

It looks like at one point, internal_print was a recursive function, but this is no longer the case.  I've updated the function parameters to no longer contain the "nesting" parameter and removed the if block shown in this case.

On second thought, internal_print() doesn't look like it's needed anymore as it's only called by PyObject_Print() and is no longer recursive.  This second patch moves internal_print()'s function body into PyObject_Print and removes the internal_print function.
