Indeed, this behavior is documented at https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html?highlight=setrecursionlimit#sys.setrecursionlimit : "a too-high limit can lead to a crash".

I'd recommend refactoring to use iteration rather than recursion:

    def fact(n):
        product = 1
        for i in range(1, n+1):
            product *= i
        return product
