[RecursionError] maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

[qiankunxienb]

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS version and name: macOS Catalina 10.15.6
• Poetry version: 1.1.3

Issue

When I run poetry add scrapy, it raise an error:

[RecursionError]
maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

However, when I run poetry shell first to enter the virtual env，and then run poetry add scrapy, then everying works fine.

@qiankunxienb I am unable to reproduce the issue see below. If this is is still occurring, can you please add an example pyproject.toml file along with the output of the command when run with -vvv please.

podman run --rm -i --entrypoint bash python:3.8 <<EOF

Strange, when I add -vvv argument, the issue can not be reproduced.

Popping in here to say that I'm getting this consistently when I attempt to export my lock file. Full traceback:

I've confirmed that this issue is only occurring on poetry v1.1.3. Downgrading back to v1.1.2 resolves the RecursionError. I'm running these installations using the officially supported installer, not via pip or anything like that.

Here's a link to the current pyproject.toml: https://github.com/seandstewart/typical/blob/main/pyproject.toml

Also, I should note that I upgraded because I noticed poetry was exporting all of my optional dependencies by default...

[estyrke]

I have the exact same issue as @seandstewart - install works fine, but export does not. Not sure if it is related to the OP or if it is better handled as a new issue?

[abn]

Thank you for the reproducer @seandstewart.

Can you please try the fix at #3237. @estyrke @seandstewart @qiankunxienb

Using pipx

pipx install --suffix=@3237 'poetry @ git+https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry.git@refs/pull/3237/head'

Using a container (podman | docker)

podman run --rm -i --entrypoint bash python:3.8 <<EOF
set -xe
pip install -q git+https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry.git@refs/pull/3237/head
install -d foobar
pushd foobar
curl -sLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seandstewart/typical/main/pyproject.toml
poetry lock
poetry export -f requirements.txt --without-hashes
EOF

Note that the lock step will take a a minute or so.

[sergekir]

Same problem here.
poetry@3237 worked fine and it took only a few seconds for 150+ deps 👍
But it added python version restriction on every package.
Is it expected?
In pyproject.toml there is python = "^3.8" and i got:
flake8==3.8.4; (python_version >= "2.7" and python_full_version < "3.0.0") or (python_full_version >= "3.4.0")

[abn]

@sergekir at the moment this comes via propagation from dependency markers so, it does not take into account the pypt python constraint. The per dependency python constraint is expected at the moment since we are simply propagating whats in the lock file. Will see if we can remove that later on.

[estyrke]

@abn, poetry@3237 works great for me!

[RollerKnobster]

Was able to reproduce the maximum recursion depth exceeded on any dependency-resolving action on v1.0.9 but the issue was quickly fixed by updating to v1.1.3. Not sure if this is helpful or not.

Also providing the stacktrace from -vvv.

[seandstewart]

Hey @abn sorry for the late response - confirmed poetry@3237 works for me!
