Sparrow minimal working example failing on M1 Mac

[akshaymehra]

Having installed Sparrow on Docker, I get a OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented error on worker_1 when running SPARROW_SECRET_KEY=TemporaryKey sparrow up.

The error message mentions watchmedo.py, which led me to this issue: gorakhargosh/watchdog#838 and, subsequently, https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/apple-silicon/.

Thanks for this report. I think setting SPARROW_ENV=production will work around this since we don't use watching in production mode. However, this is not necessarily a great situation since reloading tasks etc. is good for debugging. We'll monitor the upstream issue and maybe switch to a better file watcher if one becomes available.
