RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp in Linuxmint 14 ( Ubuntu 12.10 )


I'm using cjknife as a parser for converting chinese file into pinyin, 

while I was on ubuntu 11.04 , it already give me the same error message but I 
had managed by adding these 2 line to the file 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cjklib-0.3.2-py2.7.egg/cjklib/reading/ope
rator.py

import sys

sys.setrecursionlimit(150000000)

and it worked , but now I'm on linuxmint 14 based on Ubuntu 12.10 and when I 
add theses two line to the same file, it still give me same error message :

"  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cjklib-0.3.2-py2.7.egg/cjklib/reading/op

    and readingEntities[1] == self.pinyinApostrophe \
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp
