An algorithm problem

It's tied to the recursive call to the ring function, python raises a limit to 
recursive calls to avoid infinite recursion.
You can just adjust the limit using these two lines when you call the function 
ring :
import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(10000) # or whatever, the default is 1000
and set back the limit to its default after the call.

Note that function calls are memory expensive and the recursive implementation 
of an algorithm must be considered (in particular in python) as an "elegant 
but not optimized" one.
