Strange python API error

I get a strange error when executing the following code-snippet:

sys.path.append('/home/pi/scripts/qr-scripts')
sys.path.append('/home/pi/Raw')
import session_folder
import session_folder_name

response = db.files_list_folder(session_folder_name.sessionFolderName)
for file in response.entries:

This is the error-output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/scripts/qr-scripts/dropbox_qrcodes_watchdog.py", line 77, in <module>
    response = db.files_list_folder(session_folder_name.sessionFolderName)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/dropbox/base.py", line 715, in files_list_folder
    None,
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/dropbox/dropbox.py", line 256, in request
    user_message_locale)
dropbox.exceptions.ApiError: ApiError('9f5d41127c911dc312a3938fbe57f464', ListFolderError('path', LookupError('not_found', None)))

I am really not getting the problem... Can anyone help?

I am sorry. Found the mistake. My fault!

I tried to download something from a dropbox-folder, that doesn't yet exist by the time, the script is being executed.

@akashjeez The original poster here indicated that the issue was that they were attempting to access the folder before the folder existed.

In general, the 'not_found' error means that the specified path doesn't exist.
