Configuration._watchdog = FileWatcher(

According to gorakhargosh/watchdog#918, it seems that Mac's FSEvents doesn't support watching a single file. The workaround some users have found is to specify recursive=True, which isn't supported but does seem to solve the problem.

I believe the solution here would be to check the OS and, if it's darwin, set recursive=True. The default can and probably should be False, especially if this PR ends up merging.
