RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while getting the str of an object

[murphyke]

Using rdbms-subsetter==0.2.5 and PostgreSQL 9.5, I'm trying to extract a subset, but I get a long stack trace followed by the error "RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while getting the str of an object".

Does this ring any bells?

$ rdbms-subsetter postgresql://postgres@localhost/foo postgresql://postgres@localhost/foo_subset .00005

Exactly the same here with:
rdbms-subsetter==0.2.5 and
PostgreSQL 9.4.6

When I hit this issue, it was because there was a circular reference in my database schema. I had accounts.owner_id referencing users.id, and users.account_id referencing accounts.id, which caused infinite recursion ending in the above backtrace.
