Python SDK constant errors

- 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.

Dropbox StaffThat's correct, if your app has the "app folder" permission, everything your app does or "sees" is relative to the app folder itself. You would use "" to refer to the app folder itself, since it's your app's root, or "/subfolder", etc. to refer to something inside your app folder.
From your first paragraph, it sounds like "testFolder" is your app folder itself, so to list its contents you would use a path parameter of "". In your second paragraph, it sounds like you may be trying to specify "testFolder", which wouldn't be necessary. If you're still not seeing the expected results, please share the code and output.
Also, note that the full Dropbox version wouldn't be looking at the same files if you pass the same path string. I.e., using the path "/testFolder" would list the following folders, as seen on the Dropbox web site, for the respective permissions:
- full Dropbox: /testFolder
- app folder: /Apps/<app folder name>/testFolder

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.- Greg-DB
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.
