[Python] Is there any way to catch and handle infinite recursive functions that create Tkinter...

I have a student that submitted a function like this:

def infinite_windows():
window = tkinter.Tk()
infinite_windows()


I already test things inside a try-except block. My code reports the RecursionError, but then it freezes my desktop the next time it asks for user input and I have to kill Python. The following code hangs, but only when the input() call is included:

import tkinter

def infinite_windows():
window = tkinter.Tk()
infinite_windows()

try:
infinite_windows()
except Exception as e:
print("caught the exception!")
print(e)

input("hi there") #hangs here


Is there any way for me to handle this behavior and continue running Python without removing the call to input()?
