dropboxsetup: iOS (Pythonista), attempts to handle Dropbox auth token creation and login seamlessly

dropboxsetup.py

import dropbox, os, webbrowser

# A generic Dropbox module to create a token and login.
# Michelle L. Gill, 2014/01/06

# To use:
# import dropboxsetup
# sess, client = dropboxsetup.init(TOKEN_FILENAME, APP_KEY, APP_SECRET)
# TOKEN_DIRECTORY can be set to store tokens in a folder, set to "Tokens" by default

# requires a dropbox app key and secret, which can be created on dropbox's developer website
# most of this script was shamelessly copied from https://gist.github.com/ctaloi/4156185
