The Windows Python 3.15t Actions job was failing in the pure-Python fallback test phase under
pytest-run-parallel. The failure came fromtest_nest_limit_1024, which mutates the process-wide recursion limit and can race when multiple iterations run concurrently.Root cause
test_nest_limit_1024temporarily raises and restoressys.setrecursionlimit(...).StackErrorfailures during unpacking.Change
test_nest_limit_1024asthread_unsafesopytest-run-parallelruns it single-threaded while leaving the rest of the free-threaded suite parallelized.Scope
