Unlimited recursion on Windows with Python 2.7

[pombredanne]

I bumped to the latest pytest which now needs atomicwrites... and the tests fail to run on Windows.
I am under the impression that atomicwrites is the culprit but I may be wrong?

See https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nexB/license-expression/build/248/job/smx1qy33w1dxrlh5#L531
and https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nexB/license-expression/build/248/job/jpd8c35tgee9mi7y#L532

Things work fine on POSIX and other Python versions on Windows:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/nexB/license-expression/build/248

The exact versions used are here:

This is a pytest bug. Closing this here.
