I get a NameError when I use the noredirect code out of the documentation for python.

There is something wrong with the example code in the dropbox documentation

 

from dropbox import DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect

auth_flow = DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET)

authorize_url = auth_flow.start()
print "1. Go to: " + authorize_url
print "2. Click \"Allow\" (you might have to log in first)."
print "3. Copy the authorization code."
auth_code = raw_input("Enter the authorization code here: ").strip()

try:
    access_token, user_id = auth_flow.finish(auth_code)
except Exception, e:
    print('Error: %s' % (e,))
    return

dbx = Dropbox(access_token)

The source is http://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/master/moduledoc.html#module-dropbox.oauth

 

There is something wrong with the try/exception part. After that, it says

NameError: name 'access_token' is not defined

Thanks for the report! That sample is out of date. We'll get that fixed up. 

 

It looks like someone was kind enough to share an updated version in your StackOveflow post already.
