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):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

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