files_list_folder encoding issue
I've tried to use the sample code provided in other discussions to no avail.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import dropbox
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox("***TOKEN*GOES*HERE***")
myDir = dbx.files_list_folder...
This code looks correct, and doesn't fail for me when I plug in my own access token.
Looking at the stack trace, it appears to be failing when making the request, specifically when writing a particular header. The only header here that would be varying though is the Authorization header with your access token. Also, the character it's failing on seems to be the unicode character for an em dash. So, it sounds like your access token string has unicode in it, when it should only contain ASCII. (Perhaps you opened or saved it in a text editor that automatically performed some conversion?)
To fix this, replace any non-ASCII characters in your access token with the correct ASCII character, such as the ASCII dash "-", or just get a new access token and use it as is.

That was the problem... My token had a em dash in it... Thank you!!!
