According to @jeremystretch a quick fix is to downgrade django-filter

pip3 install django-filter==1.1.0

Bump that I had the same error after upgrading 2.3.4 to 2.3.5. Downgrading django-filter from 2.0.0 to 1.1.0 seems to have fixed it for me.

Same, thanks for the fix @mpatcheco

This issue makes the current master branch of NetBox uninstallable out of the box, at least with Python 2.7 on Debian Stretch. Any plans for fixing that, or should switch to Python3 virtualenv solve this?

@drybjed The issue is with the new release of the django-filter library; using a virtualenv (or not) won't make any difference.

I'm going to return to my earlier approach of pinning exact versions of all required libraries in requirements.txt to mitigate this issue in the future. Will push out a new release with this change today.

@jeremystretch Excellent, thanks for quick reaction. :-)
