Perhaps you named your python file as "watchdog" or "observers"...
Try to rename it and run again.

Also getting the same error...

Actually I have the same problem on Mac OS X.

ImportError: No module named observers

While the watchmedo demo script works flawlessly.

Currently downgraded to v0.8.2 where the import does seem to work. I am not sure yet wether the watcher itself will work, will update this after testing.

python -m pip uninstall watchdog
python -m pip install watchdog==0.8.2

Closing as it is well tested that observers are present on all platforms. Open a speicif issue if encountering the error again.
