Unable to install pip requirements on linux

[darakian]

Trying to setup a new instance I got this. It seems to be due to an update to the watchdog package and

[user@ip MozDef]# grep -r watchdog .
./mozdef_util/setup.py:    'watchdog>=0.9.0',
./mozdef_util/requirements_dev.txt:watchdog==0.9.0

but I'm still investigating.

Full error log below

Seems like it's a watchdog issue and they have a patch for it
gorakhargosh/watchdog#615
gorakhargosh/watchdog#616

[darakian]

and resolved with an updated watchdog package :)
