Auto reloading is not working in Bottle framework

Question

I am currently getting started with Bottle framework (doing the Hello World example and afterwards have to build a RESTful API). The problem is the fact that reloader doesn't work. When I make a change in the code and reload the page where the change should show nothing happens. It works on my friends' computers so I'm am a bit confused.

Using python 2.7.

from bottle import route, run

@route('/hello')
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

run(host='localhost', port=8080, debug=True, reloader =True)

EDIT:Also what i noticed is that when i save the change in the script while the server is still listening i get this:

----------------------------------------
Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 60472)
Traceback (most recent call last):

    data = self._sock.recv(self._rbufsize)

----------------------------------------

I am sorry for captain obvious question but have you saved the file before reloading the page? If so, do you see `Bottle [...] server starting up (using WSGIRefServer())...` in a console after making the change and refreshing the page? — Piotr Dawidiuk, Jan 26 '17 at 21:08
Yes i did save before reloading and i see the exact same thing in the command prompt as you just said . — JDoe, Jan 27 '17 at 14:29

There is an interesting clue if you use Windows OS:

Keep in mind that in windows this must be under if name == "main": due to the way the multiprocessing module works.

So it should look like this

from bottle import route, run

@route('/hello')
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run(host='localhost', port=8080, debug=True, reloader=True)

I do have it like that on one of the scripts and still same behaviour. The wierdest thing is that yesterday i had to go somewhere and in a bit of free time i tried to see if it still doesnt works and it did work, the auto reloader i mean) . But now i am back home and i tried again and it doesn't work anymore ( i did not make any change on the code) . How is possible? – JDoe Jan 28 '17 at 14:47
