I've been running duplicity 0.8.22 using python 3.10 in a Windows
Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Debian distribution to back up "important"
files from my Windows 10 system to
box.com for a couple of years
now. I haven't updated that distribution since I created it.
I recently noticed that duplicity 2.1.4 is available in cygwin, so I
tried using it (with python 3.9.16) to access (show the collection
status of) the same archive at
box.com, but that failed with the
error:
BackendException: box config file is
not found.
Using pdb I tracked down the problem to the names
Client and
JWTAuth
not being defined at line 53 of
boxbackend.py.
I've solved the problem by declaring
Client
and
JWTAuth as globals similar to
what is done in adbackend.py and dpbxbackend.py.
Here is the diff:

Can this fix be incorporated into the next release?
thanks,
Peter
PS: I just noticed that Box is not included in the list of supported
protocols at
https://duplicity.gitlab.io/.
Should it be added?
