Dropbox API Support & Feedback

Hi I am currently in the process of migrating my code to use v2 and am hitting an error when trying to upload in python.
Error:
stone_serializers.py", line 887, in _make_stone_friendly
raise bv.ValidationError(e.args[0])
ValidationError: client_modified: attribute of type 'NoneType' is not callable
I'm not sending a client mod time and not sure how to fix this.
I have to say v2 is much more complicated than v1 and feel the docs could use a lot of examples in them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok after some investigating I have noticed the first attempt gives no errors, all subsequent attempts give the client modified nonetype error.
After some googling I finally came accross some info that this is a known issue with datetime in python.
I found this:
try: datetime.strptime(date_string, format) except TypeError: datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6]))
So I decided to manually tweak the make stone friendly function in the api to this.
def _make_stone_friendly( data_type, val, alias_validators, strict, validate, for_msgpack): """ Convert a Python object to a type that will pass validation by its validator. Validation by ``alias_validators`` is performed even if ``validate`` is false. """ if isinstance(data_type, bv.Timestamp): try: ret = datetime.datetime.strptime(val, data_type.format) except: print("datetime.datetime.strptime(val, data_type.format) returned NoneType. Trying alterntive") pass try: ret = datetime.datetime(*(time.strptime(val, data_type.format)[0:6])) except (TypeError, ValueError) as e: raise bv.ValidationError(e.args[0]) elif isinstance(data_type, bv.Bytes): if for_msgpack: if isinstance(val, six.text_type): ret = val.encode('utf-8') else: ret = val else: try: ret = base64.b64decode(val) except TypeError: raise bv.ValidationError('invalid base64-encoded bytes') elif isinstance(data_type, bv.Void): if strict and val is not None: raise bv.ValidationError("expected null, got value") return None else: if validate: data_type.validate(val) ret = val if alias_validators is not None and data_type in alias_validators: alias_validators[data_type](ret) return ret
I can say it is now working every time without error.
I'm sure you don't like the code being altered and I can totally understand that but if you think the code doesn't look like it will yeild any issues then I'm happy to do a pull request on github.
Hi Greg,
What file is the version number in? i can't seem to find it.
the current code i'm using has evolved from the example you posted in another thread which was giving me the same error.
with open(localFile, 'rb') as f: CHUNK_SIZE = 4 * 1024 * 1024 if fileSize <= CHUNK_SIZE: smallFileUpload(client, dpBG, localFile, destPath, overwrite, dispName, silent) else: upload_session_start_result = dbx.files_upload_session_start(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE)) cursor = dropbox.files.UploadSessionCursor(session_id=upload_session_start_result.session_id, offset=f.tell()) commit = dropbox.files.CommitInfo(path=destPath) while f.tell() < fileSize: if ((fileSize - f.tell()) <= CHUNK_SIZE): dbx.files_upload_session_finish(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE), cursor, commit) else: dbx.files_upload_session_append_v2(f.read(CHUNK_SIZE), cursor) cursor.offset = f.tell() if not silent: if dpBG == "dpbg": dpbg.update(100, "", "Upload Complete") dpbg.close() elif dpBG == "dp": dp.update(100, "", "COMPLETE!") dp.close() else: Notify(title=SubTitle, message="[COLORyellow]%s[/COLOR] Upload [COLORlimegreen]Complete[/COLOR]!" % (dispName), duration=4000, icon=ART_URL + 'ogdb.png') if xbmcaddon.Addon(thisAddonID).getSetting("backres_dbox_removelocal") == 'true': try: os.remove(localFile) except: pass
You can see the version by printing dropbox.__version__. The latest release is v8.2.0. If you're not already on that, please upgrade and try again.
If you are seeing this on the latest version, please share the whole stack trace. I can't seem to reproduce this issue with v8.2.0, and it's unclear in which line of your code this is occuring. Thanks in advance!
Hi Greg,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'm a tad confused. I get 0.0.0 when i print dropbox.__version__
Yes I had downloaded the master from github.
I've now downloaded 8.2.0 but I'm getting the same error.
Here is the stack trace.

I hope this helps.
Thanks again.
Hi yes, I did that but same outcome. (no errors on install)
I just noticed the item does actually upload but looks like the return meta is giving a none type for client mod and it doesn't like it.
I maybe misreading that but still getting the error.
