Hey Claude, Thanks for your feedback on the feature, I fully agree with you. I think we should remove that warning message about the missing package. I will make a PR to do that.
Regarding creating another reloader: it should not be that difficult to do at all since we have all the other pieces in place. In theory it's just implementing a class with single generator method. If people agree I would like to use the 'watchdog' package for this rather than the pyinotify library as it would be quicker to implement, a lot nicer to work with and is easier to test.
