Fake autoload doesn't reboot or change

I have an app.py flask application for which I want to enable auto reloads. This is the entry point:

APP = Flask(__name__)
APP.config.from_object(os.environ['APP_SETTINGS'])
# a lot of configurations ommited
if __name__ == "__main__":
    APP.run(debug=True, port=5005)

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I start the application, I get this in the terminal:

/Users/George/myproject/venv/bin/python /Users/George/myproject/app.py
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5005/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
 * Restarting with stat
 * Debugger is active!
 * Debugger pin code: 338-825-330

      

        
        
        
      

    

and when I change one of my controllers it gets that the change happened:

 * Detected change in '/Users/George/myproject/web_endpoints/user.py', reloading

      

        
        
        
      

    

but the change doesn't happen and if I make another change it never gets received (not reported in the terminal).
