Description:
Official package does not work for python2 as it's built on a machine with both python-urllib3 and python2-urllib3, resulting in a package that actually depending on python-urllib3 as found in line 15 of file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dropbox/session.py:

import urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error

These are actually modules in python 3 as described here https://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib.html. This is the same bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/duplicity/+bug/1318065 .

I fixed in on my machine by rebuilding the package without python3 installed.
This task depends upon

A simple fix for this would be to split the dropbox PKGBUILD files - one for python and the other for python2.

The attached PKGBUILD file works for python2.
   PKGBUILD (0.8 KiB)
