Pyinstaller development version: recursion depth reached

With due reference to question at Pyinstaller Maximum Recursion Depth Exceded, I removed all versions of pyinstaller and associated folders. I installed the newest development version of pyinstaller with:

pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/tarball/develop

Using pyinstaller still causes this error message:

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded.

I am using Python 3.6.4. I've seen that others downgrade to Python 3.5. Others suggest increasing the recursion depth in the spec file (http://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/spec-files.html).

Can anyone suggest the best path forward?

Alternatively, you can increase the recursion limit by adding the following to the beginning of the .spec file:

import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(5000)

FWIW, I ripped out Python 3.6.4 and installed Python 3.5.2. Now, pyinstaller and P3.5.2 play well together.
