How to read a file inside the Dropbox folder using Python Dropbox API v2?

I am trying to use Python 3.4 to upload files in dropbox. I can successfully upload files to dropbox. But I need to know how files inside a Dropbox folder can be read. For ex: if there are text and csv files inside a dropbox folder, then I need to read the contents of those file using Python Dropbox API v2?

[Cross-linking for reference: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python/issues/89 ]

You can use the files_download methods to download files from Dropbox:

https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/master/moduledoc.html#dropbox.dropbox.Dropbox.files_download

The examples use the Python SDK file_download methods here:
