python sdk and app for business/teams
I am following the tutorial on using the python sdk and when it comes to calling account_info() it fails with a 401 error. My app is a business app as I am writing something to performs some automation for our team members. Dropbox says that the app is authorized. When I make this call 'access_token, user_id = auth_flow.finish(auth_code)', I get an access token but the user_id is null.
I suspect that this may be because the python sdk doesnt work for business apps, can anybody confirm or deny?
Thanks for any help.

It's true that the Python SDK doesn't have anything specific in it for the Dropbox for Business API.
If you're making calls on behalf of a team member, you need to attach the
X-Dropbox-Perform-As-Team-Memberheader, which you can't do directly via the Python SDK. I'd recommend making your API calls manually via, e.g., therequestsmodule.
