    What is the value of your '_team_name_space_id' variable? 

    Based on the error output you shared, if you want to list the contents of the team space, you should set your '_team_name_space_id' variable to "5632093280".

It looks like there's currently an issue with the Python SDK if you use 'as_user' or 'as_admin' before 'with_path_root'. I'll ask the team to fix that up.

As a workaround, please use 'with_path_root' before 'as_user' or 'as_admin', as in the example in my previous comment.

For reference, the issue of not being able to use 'as_user' or 'as_admin' before 'with_path_root' should now be fixed as of v10.3.0 of the Dropbox Python SDK.
