I'm trying to figure out what causes this error when I run my app using the basic Flask server during development. I start it with this:
from myapp import app
app.run(debug=True, port=5001)
All is well and I'll continue to code and refresh etc, but then after a while I get the recursion error and have to Ctrl-C the server and restart it. Not a big deal, just a little annoying to have to deal with every now and then.
Here's the full traceback, which I tried to use to determine the cause but can't see anything that stands out (possibly something to do with how werkzeug uses Cookie.py?):

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
Since it occurs during your developement process, you could increase recursion limit, before starting your server, using :
sys.setrecursionlimit(2000) # Choose the right figure for you here
# the value on my system is 1000 but this is platform-dependant
However, you should use it very carefully and probably not in production unless you have a good knowledge of it's impacts.
