RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Trying to convert my production app, I get a recursion error:

$ cat requirements.txt | wc -l
     201

$ pipenv lock   
Requirements.txt found, instead of Pipfile! Converting…

It makes some good progress before crashing:

yeah it’s a wrapper around pip reqs. will probably give you a lot of false positives, but it’d be a place to start.
