Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/276

When I run this:
import spotipy.util as util

token = util.prompt_for_user_token('MU_USERNAME', scope='user-library-read', client_id='MY_CLIENT_ID', client_secret='MY_CLIENT_SECRET', redirect_uri='http://localhost/')

and insert the url from the browser into the prompt, it incorrectly parses it. The url only had the code value, and not whatever is supposed to come after the &. It worked after I added an & to the end of my url, and I am not sure if this is unique to me, but it seems like this is an error.

I found the url is parsed in oauth2.py line 188, and this is caused because it tries remove everything before the code, and everything after the & (including it), but there was no &.
