maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

[chenmingzhang]

when i was trying to install pywafo by running

python setup.py bdist_wheel -d dist

according to README

it shows:

loc2 = e.tryParse( instring, loc )
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/_vendor/pyparsing.py", line 1421, in tryParse
    return self._parse( instring, loc, doActions=False )[0]

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/_vendor/pyparsing.py", line 1383, in _parseNoCache
loc,tokens = self.parseImpl( instring, preloc, doActions )
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/_vendor/pyparsing.py", line 2779, in parseImpl
ret = ParseResults(result.group())
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/_vendor/pyparsing.py", line 359, in init
if isinstance(toklist, list):
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
error in wafo setup command: Error parsing /home/osboxes/Downloads/git2/pywafo/setup.cfg: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

I have the similar problems running the setup on Windows.. (Also I had to remove "SetuptoolsVersion" from the .egg folder \pyscaffold\utils.py row 207 "from pkg_resources import parse_version, SetuptoolsVersion".

"use_pyscaffold" is called until the recursion depth is maximum..

I tried both 32, 64 bits Python3.5 and Python3.6.

For me I "solved" the problem by using a newer version of pyscaffold in the setup_requires and also I had to compile it with a Intel Fortan compilator.

One question though, why is only the data and wafo/data set to be built in add_data_dir? Why not the entire wafo folder? I changed it to include the wafo folder and was finally able to built it, now I can import it and work with it, however I get the following errors:

i am running this under a linux machine and your solution may not work for me.

Hi had the same error and I solved it by using setuptools<39.0.0 setuptools_scm<2.0.0 and pbr<4.0
