According to this Issue, it should be fixed. However, I'm getting an error while trying to listen to the same folder from two different observers:

observer = Observer()
input_dir = "/tmp"
observer.schedule(PatternMatchingEventHandler(), input_dir, recursive=True)
observer.start()
observer2 = Observer()
observer2.schedule(PatternMatchingEventHandler(), input_dir, recursive=True)
observer2.start()

Triggers:
