-------------------
I use Dropbox application from RPMfusion-nonfree repo on Fedora 35. In the last few months when using Dropbox from the bash I see the error message:
/usr/bin/dropbox:614: DeprecationWarning: isSet() is deprecated, use is_set() instead
if self.stop_event.isSet(): break
every time I give a command line with dropbox (e.g. dropbox status or dropbox stop or dropbox start). This is just to let you know before this issue becomes critical.
Hi emaster987,
Yes, from time to time different things become deprecated and replaced by others. In the particular case a library method is on focus. Let's hope Dropbox staff will take this in mind.
You have put in your description a lot of information but your Python version is missing (the actual issuer of that warning). Can you post your version? The result of command like:
python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.version)"
By the way, you can avoid that disturbing message as follow the provided direction within the message itself - i.e. replace the deprecated method name and set newer one (they are synonyms, actually). This could get achieved by following command:
sudo sed -i s/isSet/is_set/ /usr/bin/dropbox
Hope this helps.

The result of the first command line is:
3.10.2 (main, Jan 17 2022, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.2.1 20211203 (Red Hat 11.2.1-7)]
I'll try the second command these days. Thanks a lothttps://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#deprecated 🤷 Exact match! 😉 It's not in the following section (Removed) yet, fortunately.
Thank you!! This fixed it.
