Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/232

There is a typo in the documents at http://spotipy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#authorization-code-flow

util.prompt_for_user_token(username,scope,client_id='your-app-redirect-url',client_secret='your-app-redirect-url',redirect_uri='your-app-redirect-url')

Should be...

util.prompt_for_user_token(username,scope,client_id='your-app-client-id',client_secret='your-app-client-secret',redirect_uri='your-app-redirect-url')

Or to be clearer to new programmers you could have...

clientID = 'Paste your client ID here'
clientSecret = 'Paste your client secret here'
redirectURL = 'Paste your redirect url here'  # We/Spotify suggest http://localhost:8888/callback/ or http://localhost/

token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username,scope,client_id='your-app-client-id',client_secret='your-app-client-secret',redirect_uri='your-app-redirect-url')
