Upgrading the Dropbox SDK

This document is designed to show you how to upgrade to the latest version of the SDK accomodating any breaking changes introduced by major version updates. If you find any issues with either this guide on upgrading or the changes introduced in the new version, please see CONTRIBUTING.md

Upgrading to v12.0.0

  • The SDK no longer provides its own CA bundle to verify TLS connections. It will continue to verify connections through the requests library, which makes use of certifi. You may still provide your own bundle through the ca_certs parameter of the Dropbox classes and of the create_session function (see the documentation for details).
  • This will be the last major version to support Python 2.

Upgrading from v10.X.X to v11.0.0

The major change that happened in this new version is that we regenerated the client files using Stone 3.2.0, so relative imports are removed from the generated client files. This created some issues with the imports in the non-generated files in dropbox/. As a result, we renamed dropbox.dropbox to dropbox.dropbox_client. If you used to do imports like dropbox.dropbox.foo, such imports need to be changed to dropbox.dropbox_client.foo. However, we preserved the imports in dropbox/__init__.py, so imports like from dropbox import DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect, from dropbox import Dropbox will continue to work.
