    It looks like the ValueError issue is fixed in requests v2.17.1, so please update to that and let me know if you're still seeing any issues.

I have the same problem. But I updated my requests to v2.18.4. 
when I run: 
 dbx.users_get_current_account()

 

It shows error message: 
  

ValueError: Timeout value connect was Timeout(connect=30, read=30, total=None), but it must be an int, float or None.

    If you're still seeing ValueError, make sure you're on the latest version of the requests library, and double check that that latest version is actually getting used in the Python environment that you're running in.

     

    Additionally, we received a report that this issue can persist if you're using Python 3.6.1, and that upgrading to 3.6.5 can fix that.
