Error in Python 3.10: module 'collections' has no attribute 'MutableSet'

[sohang3112]

This is because MutableSet was moved from collections module to collections.abc module in Python 3.3. So collections.abc has to be used in Python 3.3+ instead of collections.

Full traceback:

[sohang3112]

Closing, since this is actually an error in the watchdog library.

[sohang3112]

Actually, this error occurs because of using old watchdog version - latest watchdog version (2.1.9) doesn't have this problem.

I have opened a pull request that will close this issue.
