Hi!

Thanks for the response!

I'll fill in the details shortly. I wanted to add to the bug, that the
functions being called repeatedly were `python-shell-send-string` and
`python-shell-send-file`.

They call one another and create more and more temporary files before I get
the recursion error.

As a side note, python.el really rocks. Thanks so much for the amazing work.

I'll try this asap. I thought it was eldoc, but then tried turning off
'eldoc-mode' off and I still had the same problem with the infinite
recursion (and I think I still saw the weird PYDOC strings, but not sure).

But I will try this today.

I just checked, and they both are.

<function __main__.__PYTHON_EL_eval(source, filename)>
<function __main__.__PYTHON_EL_eval_file(filename, tempname, delete)>

Will try this immediately
