ValueError when using python venv

I'am currently trying to connect to my dropbox account using the API key in python. When i run it not using the virtual environment, I am able to get my profile information from the code below.

import dropbox

d = dropbox.Dropbox("myAPIkey")
    
print(d.users_get_current_account())

But when i run the code using my python venv, i get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\lib\site-packages\urllib3\util\timeout.py", line 142, in _validate_timeout
    float(value)
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'Timeout'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any way i can get this code to run in my python venv?

Solution

  • Are you sure that you're using venv ?
    If yes, then try running it without venv.
    And keep your API in a seperate variable.
    And try uninstalling Dropbox with pip uninstall dropbox and then install it by pip install dropbox.
