Sharing folder
Hello! I have a problem getting (and create) a link to a public folder in python:
dbx.sharing_create_shared_link(DxFold)
dbx.sharing_get_shared_links(DxFold)
Everything works in python ...
Hi vas1992,
Yes, 'six' module is part of Python standard distribution and that's why preinstalled, of course.

For first time it appears in some releases of version 1.11 and finally became part of the standard distribution in version 1.12.0.
You have to update your 'six' version, at least 1.12 or newer, or even better update entire Python distribution to more recent one. 😉
Hope this helps.
On Ubuntu 20.04 (worked)
pip3 list
dropbox 11.25.0
===============================
RPi 3B+ (No work)
python3 -m pip list

Hi vas1992,
Greg-DB asked you for result of a command like:
pip3 show six
or another option:
python3 -m pip show six
Whatever you prefer. 😉 Function 'ensure_str' should come up there, that seems missing now for some reason.
In addition you can find out your six.py place by using following on command line:
echo "import six; print('path to six:', six.__file__)" | python3
... and inspect byself what's there - is there such a function defined or referred/redirected by some way 🧐. Normally there should be.
Good luck and happy New Year!
Thank you. 'Six' was already installed:

That's correct, v11.25.0 of the 'dropbox' library depends on at least v1.12.0 of 'six', so you need at least that version to get this working.
Thanks! Everything worked as it should!
