Reproducing with. Related to #198.

#!python

class A(object):
    pass


class SomeClass(object):
    route_class = A

    def __init__(self):
        self.route_class = type('B', (self.route_class, ), {})
        self.route_class() #@

Dear all,

2015 that's some time ago :)

I think we are pointing to a similar issue over there: PyCQA/pylint #3318
where we describe a pylint recursion error certainly linked to this astroid issue.
Astroid 2.2.5 (with compatible pylint version) did not seem to have the issue.
