Trying to lookup the datastore or ESX host moid always (really in any case) fails with the same error.
Reproducable on fresh installations

An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin 'vmware.vmware_rest.datastore_moid'. Error was a <class 'RecursionError'>, original message: maximum recursion depth exceeded while pickling an object

Recent changes to the lookup plugin structure have resolved this type of error. Testing with the plugins yields results for the example in this issue. Im going to close this, feel free to re-open or open a new issue if the issue is persisting for you

See #500 for relevant conversation and the expected release date for the fix
