Dropbox-API for python on windows missing API V1?

I asked this on stack overflow and no answers so I'm trying again here. I have win 10 PC and Python 3.5.1 with dropbox latest version. API V1 seems to be unsupported. Calls to dropbox.client gives no attribute client was found. I was using the official tutorial code.

When I run the same code on raspberry pi Jessie with Python 3.5.1 and latest dropbox version, the code works fine.

On both systems API V2 calls are fine but there is so little information (tutorial) on V2 so I was thinking about using V1 for now. Did I do something wrong on my win 10 system?

Did you follow the v1 instructions to install the v1 Python sdk?

Got it. Thanks.

I was confused. I didn't know V1 vs V2 so it turns out that I only followed V2's install instruction (no sdk install, just pip install dropbox). The raspberry pi may have the sdk installed in the distro.

Any hint when V1 will fall out of favor?

Glad to hear you got this working John.

API v1 a.k.a. the Core API is still supported. We haven't announced any timeline for deprecating it.
