dbmc - urllib3 error

hi

i am using dbmc (dropbox addon) on libreelec krypton build. after the last addon update i receive an error, that dbmc needs urllib3:

22:08:37 481.109039 T:140116060272384 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
Error Contents: Dropbox python client requires urllib3.

urllib3 is installed as addon under
/.kodi/addons/script.module.requests/lib/requests/packages/urllib3/

is there anything further to do to be recognized by python? the owner of the addon said, that on his pc urllib3 can be found under /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urllib3/
but on libreelec it's not there.
any help is appreciated.

can you post the output of the following command?

Code

python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

here's the output:

# python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"
['', '/usr/lib/python27.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

I just installed dbmc from the kodi repo and it works fine for me.

A quick look and it seems like only urllib2 is needed?

that's true for the repo version, but it fails to sync due to some changes concerning certificates. pls have a look at the kodi forum: Dropbox addon

josetaza made a new version 0.9.5 for testing, it's not in the official repo yet -> download under Dbmc - Browse Files at SourceForge.net . this one works for him but fails on libreelec - at least on my pc. can you check this one too pls!?

So in "/storage/.kodi/addons/http://plugin.dbmc/resources/lib/dropbox/rest.py" change the line that says

Code

import urllib3

to

Code

import requests.packages.urllib3 as urllib3

Then it should work after restarting.
This add-on should also depend on scripts.module.requests

so in the addon.xml in the <requires> section it should have

Code

<import addon="script.module.requests" version="2.9.1" />

this doesn't matter if you have script.module.requests installed already though.

You might want to ping the author so he knows this

also, he could do this

Code

try:
   import urllib3
except ImportError:
   try:
      import requests.packages.urllib3 as urllib3
   except ImportError:
      raise ImportError('Dropbox python client requires urllib3.')

or a similar solution
