Sync to Dropbox

Works perfectly now, thanks

Hi Mark, everyone.
I am new to pythonista and came across this, thank you Mark for developing and sharing it!
I followed your guide / wiki and have installed the latest Dropbox package (8.0.0) via slash.
Both your scripts setup in the app and when I run it it gives a stack error of ValueError:
Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
So everything I can find online seems to indicate that this was a bug that was exposed in the Requests library when Dropbox updated their library to 8.0. I hate to ever point fingers since I have caused my own share of bugs.
If you run 'pip install requests' you should get version 2.18.1 or better. They fixed the issue in their 2.17.1 release from what I can find.
After installing this later version of Requests you will need to quit Pythonista and restart it to have it load the newest versions of the libraries.
After that Synchronator should run just fine.

Keep Calm and Code Python -
@markhamilton1, just want to say thanks. I just used Synchronator to do a backup. Worked very well. On my first run it took a long time to run because of many files, i was worried about it timing out. Maybe using console.set_idle_timer_disabled True/False at the start and end of the sync might be a worthwhile thing.
But again thanks, it did work perfectly -

Hi Mark,
Synchronator seems great, unfortunately I keep getting this error when I run it on Pythonista 3 using Python 3.5.
I used StaSh pip install to install the latest dropbox and requests to no avail, here is the stack trace, it seems to be a timeout problem :(Updating From Dropbox

I've just installed Pythonista, the dropbox and requests packages and Synchronator. When I run DropboxSetup.py I get the following:

pip install requests
- For me, I had to update chardet and idna. Update failed, but install then fixed it.
pip update chardet pip install chardet pip update idna pip install idna pip update dropbox pip install dropbox
- in console:
M=[m for m in sys.modules if 'requests' in m] for m in M: del sys.modules[m] import requests
-
@JonB can you explain the purpose of step 4? And with all the packages that have been installed, why am I only interested in requests? Thanks
-
you could just force quit pythonista. The issue is that requests is imported by stash, so to force the new version to import, you have to delete everything related from sys.modules.
-
@JonB why don't I have to do the same for the other packages that have been installed? Do you mean StaSh doesn't use the other packages?
-
@JonB I tried the first line at the console and got:
>>> M=[m for m in sys.modules if 'requests' in m] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'sys' is not defined
-
import sys
Again, the only reason I did this was to check that the import was successful, without a full quit -- it took a few tries, to figure out that I needed to update chardet, then idna.
Since you know what you need to update already, just double tap the home button and swipe to kill pythonista. When you come back, import requests and if it works, you are good to go
-
@JonB I killed and restarted Pythonista and got:
>>> import requests /private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/77E4F4DB-EDA3-49C3-8AAD-D4452754B812/Pythonista3/Documents/site-packages/requests/__init__.py:80: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.4) or chardet (3.0.4) doesn't match a supported version!

Did some more digging and found that StaSh had installed urllib3 version 1.4 whereas the latest version is 1.22. Fortunately I am still at the beginning of my journey with Pythonista so I have deleted and reinstalled it. I will try again.
-
There is a problem with the way StaSh
pip
handles installing minimum versions. I have raised an issue on GitHub (see Pip installed wrong version of urllib3). To get round the problem, check the latest version of the package you are trying to install using PyPI - the Python Package Index and install that version using:pip install [-d <directory>] <package>==<version>
And if a package gets installed as a dependency for another, check its version and if it is wrong perform a
pip remove
and install the correct version.I am documenting exactly how I am getting this to work and, once it does, I will post it on this forum.
-
I have the same issue as you, but when I tried to install/update/ remove requests, I get the same issue:
StaSh v0.6.20 Tip: You can redirect output to Pythonista console, e.g. ls > &3 [~/Documents]$ pip install requests /private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/8D798770-A6EB-4040-9568-3BCBFB1CF8E8/Documents/site-packages/requests/__init__.py:80: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.4) or chardet (3.0.4) doesn't match a supported version! RequestsDependencyWarning) stash: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: cannot import name DependencyWarning
Is there a way to fix the requests module without deleting Pythonista altogether?
-
@HerniaChair I'm not an expert and so I don't know if it will work, but you could try deleting the requests folder in site-packages and close down and restart Pythonista
-
Yes, remove requests from site packages, then follow the instructions on the other thread.
-
I’m having exactly this problem and cannot even uninstall the package with pip (I keep getting the same error).
Can someone point me to the “other thread” that is mentioned in this post? Nothing in this post seems to hint at how to get rid of the offending package. Can I do it manually?
Thanks for any help.

@heatherdrury
I have to say that Pythonista is an awesome program that has been a huge help to me in working on planes, etc.Probably bad form to answer my own post, but I ended up deleting the package directories (/site/packages/urllib3 and /site/packages/requests). This let me run pip and “uninstall” the packages correctly.
Now I’m trying to get back to the original task to figure out what I need to download latest Dropbox API, resolve this dependency issue with urllib3, and get Synronator.py to run so I can backup the many python programs I’ve written in Pythonista.
If anyone has more details on these steps, I’d appreciate it.
