Python Dropbox API - Invalid "cursor" parameter - python

I've been migrating some Python 2.7.11 code to 3.5.1 after running into trouble with unicode. This was the last straw - since I started using the venv module there's no reason to be on 2.7 just because someone doesn't like 3!
The problem occurs while trying to run a one-way sync (ie. downloading changes only).
Here is the full error message, paths shortened:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "%SCRIPT%.py", line 209, in <module>
updated_schedules = dbx_sync.One_Way_Sync(config['Dropbox Parameters']['Directory'], config['Dropbox Parameters']['Base Path'])
File "%COMMON_PATH%\modules\dropbox_sync_schedules.py", line 62, in One_Way_Sync
result = client.delta(cursor, base_path)
File "%COMMON_PATH%\env-home\lib\site-packages\dropbox\client.py", line 569, in delta
return self.rest_client.POST(url, params, headers)
File "%COMMON_PATH%\env-home\lib\site-packages\dropbox\rest.py", line 322, in POST
return cls.IMPL.POST(*n, **kw)

File "%COMMON_PATH%\env-home\lib\site-packages\dropbox\rest.py", line 235, in request
raise ErrorResponse(r, r.read())
dropbox.rest.ErrorResponse: [400] 'Invalid "cursor" parameter: u"b\'\'"'
Searching for "invalid cursor parameter" wasn't any help, so I thought I'd come here.

u"b\'\'" is the key here. I just couldn't understand how that representation had ended up being sent as a string.
The issue was in reading the old cursor from a file (which for this example is empty): in Python 2 I had opened the file in mode rb - in Python 3 just r is all that's required, and everything works.
Hurrah!

_cffi_ssl._stdssl.error.SSLEOFError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol while running in PyPy

The question
I created a package for maintaining HTTP requests - just for fun.
It runs perfectly in normal Python, however, when I try to run it in PyPy, the following error occurs while requesting over HTTPS:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/adam/python/httpy/httpy/__init__.py", line 2019, in request

raise pyssl_error(self, length)
_cffi_ssl._stdssl.error.SSLEOFError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol
Requests, for example, run well even in PyPy.
Could the issue be something with using ssl.wrap_socket() or it's an error on a deeper level?
System info
Python version: 3.10.5
PyPy version: 3.8.13
OS: x86_64 Linux 5.18.10-arch1-1
OK, I found it out. It was because of sending b'' after request if the request body was empty. I thought that sending empty string would be an empty operation, but obviously it is not - it is treated as an EOF. I am still not sure why this fails only using PyPy. It's maybe because it's older version than Python where the code was tested.
Anyway, if you get this error, make sure you are not accidentially sending b''.

HTTP header error using the Python SDK for Azure

I am starting with Microsoft Azure SDK for Python (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python), but I have problems.
I am using Scientific Linux and I have installed the SDK for Python 3.4 following the next steps:
(instead of the SDK directory)
python setup.py install
after that I created a simple script just to test the connection:
from azure.storage import BlobService
blob_service = BlobService(account_name='thename', account_key='Mxxxxxxx3w==' )
blob_service.create_container('testcontainer')
for i in blob_service.list_containers():
print(i.name)
following this documentation:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tconte/archive/2013/04/17/how-to-interact-with-windows-azure-blob-storage-from-linux-using-python.aspx
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-python-how-to-use-blob-storage/#large-blobs
but is not working, I always receive the same error:

Thanks in advance and best regards.
I have this exact same issue. I believe it's a library bug, but the author/s haven't had their say yet.
It looks like the response states the version, but it's actually giving you the header that's wrong. Its value should be "2014-02-14", you can do the fix shown in https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/pull/289 .
Hopefully this will be fixed and nobody will ever read this answer. Cheers!

End of data error using PyRserve

I am calling an R script file from python using pyrserve. I have rserve running. At arbitrary points in the R script, pyrserve gives an error and quits:
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise EndOfDataError()
pyRserve.rparser.EndOfDataError
I have set rserv.conf to the following:
maxinbuf 20000000
maxsendbuf 0
Does anybody know why this happens? This looks like some buffer problem, because the R script runs by itself.
It is a late answer, but in such situations it is useful to run Rserve in debug mode so its output can be monitored in a separate shell.
R CMD Rserve.dbg
In some rare cases I've seen Rserve printing warnings to the console, and when this happened the command sent thru pyRserve didn't return any value from Rserve - which led to the 'EndOfDataError' above.

ExpatError: no element found - Python script

Using OS X 10.6.8, libxml 2-2.7.8, libxslt-1.1.26, and python 2.6, I'm trying to run the tumblrRestore.py script linked here:
https://github.com/hughsaunders/Tumblr-Restore/blob/master/tumblrRestore.py
It ran successfully and restored 76 posts before crashing.
However on second run I got an ExpatError: no element found, and have not been able to run it successfully since - it always produces this same error now. Error text:

Traceback (most recent call last):

xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: no element found: line 1, column 0
I'm wondering whether I have the wrong or competing or outdated versions of python or lxml, though that still doesn't explain why the script ran successfully once.
Complete newbie, any advice appreciated.
Check your extract_xml_string method of BackupParser class. It definitely returns empty string, because your begin_re regular expresssion doesn't match xml header.
Try the next one:
begin_re = re.compile("<\? xml .*\?>")

Python 2.7.1 Blogger API problem

I recently started writing a simple client using the Blogger API to do some basic posting I implemented the client in Python and used the example code verbatim from the Blogger Developer's Guide to login, get the blog id, and make a new post. I ran the script and everything went fine until I got to this line:
return blogger_service.Post(entry, '/feeds/%s/posts/default' % blog_id)
I got the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "cs1121post.py", line 38, in <module>

tree.text = self.text.decode(MEMBER_STRING_ENCODING)
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'decode'
By which I'm taking it that ElementTree is at fault here. I installed ElementTree via
sudo python setup.py install
in case it matters. Is there some known incompatibility between ElementTree and Python v2.7.1? Has this happened to anybody else and how did you get it working? If you need any additional information, please reply to the thread. All the source code that is relevant is basically just the example code from the Developers Guide mentioned above. I haven't modified that at all (not even the variable names). Any input is greatly appreciated.
The stacktrace is actually pretty clear about this: You're calling decode() on a list instead of a tree element. Try getting the first element from the list and calling decode() on that:
firsttext = self.text[0].decode(MEMBER_STRING_ENCODING)
