Hello. I've installed spotipy from pip (pip install spotipy, as simple as it gets) and for some reason the spotipy.util.prompt_for_user_token doesn't have the cache_path keyword argument, even though it's there here in the source code. The pull request for this was already merged in September 2017. What is the reason for this?

Similar issues with #284, #283, #270, #231, #211. There seems to have been no release on PyPi since Jan, 2017.

This should be fixed with version 2.5.0, just do:

pip install spotipy --upgrade
