I had been researchin on this, and found that, I should replace

cursor = dropbox.files.UploadSessionCursor(session_id=upload_session_info.session_id,offset=f.tell())

with

 

cursor = f.tell()

Don't know if it was the issue, but, the error is gone. I tried cutting off my network and it gave me a similar issue, so, it could've related to network connectivity as well.
