I'm trying to run a Flask app on an Ubuntu Droplet but when I try to run the app with python app.py I get the following traceback:
* Running on http://0.0.0.0:4000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
* Restarting with stat
Traceback (most recent call last):

I can't install the package with pip or apt-get since I'm pretty sure this is a Windows-specific module. Is there any way I can get around this?
I was having the same problem. As far as I understand it is because of a few changes in the last Werkzeug version that changes the reloader.
Installing the watchdog could solve my problem:
pip install watchdog
And now, instead of seeing "* Restart with stat" I'm seeing "* Restart with inotify reloader" and it is all working fine.
