Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/283

Here is what I get after inspecting these functions;

In[ ] inspect.getargspec(sp.user_playlist_create)
Out[ ] ArgSpec(args=['self', 'user', 'name', 'public'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=(True,))

In[ ] inspect.getargspec(sp.user_playlist_change_details)
Out[ ] ArgSpec(args=['self', 'user', 'playlist_id', 'name', 'public', 'collaborative'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=(None, None, None))

So it seems not possible to create a playlist with description yet or add a description afterward either.

Weirdly this was actually added in a commit 11 months ago: github.com/plamere/spotipy@f5bb6db89f

Not sure why it didn't make it to the pip distribution.

Still not working. Can't update descriptions of playlists anymore.

This should be fixed with version 2.5.0, just do:

pip install spotipy --upgrade
