AttributeError: module 'social_core.backends.dropbox' has no attribute 'DropboxOAuth'

[miiichael]

Expected behaviour

Example runs.

Actual behaviour

AttributeError: module 'social_core.backends.dropbox' has no attribute 'DropboxOAuth'

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

git clone https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-examples
cd social-examples/example-flask
flask --app example run
curl http://127.0.0.1:5000

Any logs, error output, etc?

(Excuse the ruined indentation, I blame Guacamole)

Any other comments?

https://dropbox.tech/developers/api-v1-deprecated suggests that DropboxOAuth has been gone more than half a decade...

You're right, the examples are not really maintained, help is welcome.

Oh, ditto DropboxOAuth2. 😅

And GoogleOpenId, LinkedinOAuth, YahooOpenId.

I may have a go at a gentle provider update PR later, at least for Flask. But I think I need to gain an understanding of the confusing bugs in my own (simple) application first. 😛
