Max recursion depth exceeded

[IanCZane]

When I try to install this, using either sudo python setup.py develop or sudo python setup.py develop, I get a max recursion depth exceeded error. Anything you suggest? I've tried adding sys.setrecursionlimit(5000) to the beginnings of various files (after the import calls, of course), but I'm still hitting the limit. I'm thinking it might be an issue of RAM, as I don't have much, but that seems like a pretty weird issue for me to be having. It'd be pretty odd for a python module installation to use more than a few megabytes of RAM, right?

I'm trying to install using Python 2.7.6 on Ubuntu 14.04.

Edit: This is still technically an issue, but it isn't in any way urgent, as I was able to get the proxy running on my VPS via Wine. It doesn't work with Mono, but it does with Wine.

Send me full exception please. This is weird, maybe some dependency has broken installer... Dne 10. 7. 2014 23:21 "IanCZane" notifications@github.com napsal(a):

I am also seeing this issue:

Removing these lines from setup.py worked for me:

#from distribute_setup import use_setuptools
#use_setuptools()

[EvgenijM86]

I can confirm that removing these 2 lines fixes this problem.

[asansi]

Any idea what might have caused this? I'm having the same issue, even after removing those 2 lines.
