Answer 1

It appears the code in the dropbox API uses dictionary comprehensions , which were not introduced until Python 2.7. This can also be seen on the PyPI page for this module, which lists 2.7 as the Python version needed. You will not be able to use this module unless you upgrade to Python 2.7. (According to this question it must be Python 2.7, as the API doesn't yet support Python 3.)
