I'm glad to hear you sorted this out already. Yes, you can directly access those fields like that, no regex necessary.
For anyone else looking for this, here's that sample cleaned up:

so if i was was to do
myDir = dbx.files_list_folder() for item in myDir: if isinstance(item, dropbox.filemetadata): name = item.name fileID = item.id fileHash = item.content_hash
etc etc
