Watchdog doesn't work along with eventlet

[gnuton]

Hi!
Observer cannot be instantiated in case eventlet.monkey_patch() patches Thread.

Here is the code which shows the problem:

# !/usr/bin/env python

from watchdog.observers import Observer
import eventlet
eventlet.monkey_patch()
obs = Observer() # THIS FAILS because of monkey_patch patches threads

Here is the exception I get running the above code

/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/gnuton/GIT/flickrsmartsync/flickrsmartsync/flickrsmartsync/test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/gnuton/GIT/flickrsmartsync/flickrsmartsync/flickrsmartsync/test.py", line 6, in <module>

TypeError: unbound method _init() must be called with Queue instance as first argument (got EventQueue instance instead)

Just out of curiosity this morning I tried to get watchdog observer working along with gevent lib instead of eventlet.
GEvent monkey patching thread doesn't make any trouble to the Observer constructor, but eventually the observer doesn't work as it should.. it looked to me it was not able to detect any change.

I want to call a method with eventlet in Myhandler. I just fix it use multiprocess
