Could you provide a example py script how to obtain infos about the song currently played by the user?

Here is a quick one:

import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util
 
scope = 'user-read-currently-playing'
# scope = 'user-read-playback-state'
# works as well

token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope, client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret, redirect_uri=redirect_uri)

spotify = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
current_track = spotify.current_user_playing_track()

print(current_track)

Does this use the local client? It should be compatible with the native windows/linux/mac app and the windows store version

If yes, whats the best way to ask the user for his auth info? and would spotify.current_user_playing_artist() give back a list of artists or just a comma seperated string?

I just tried running that same script with my own credentials added and I got an error returned: 'Spotify' object has no attribute 'current_user_playing_track'

Any ideas why that might be happening?

It's probably because of issue https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/issues/211

This is still happening to me even with 2.4.4 installed. Funny enough when I compile in my text editor(Atom) it works fine. But when I run this from the terminal, it gives me that same error that @joeborrello got.

@mitchellpalermo if you run the code spotipy.VERSION does it return 2.0.1 or 2.4.4? Even when it pip says you've install 2.4.4, its actually 2.0.1 This is what fixed it for me
