Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/381

Here is my code

scope = 'user-library-read playlist-read-private playlist-modify-private playlist-modify-public playlist-read-collaborative'

token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username,
client_id='client_id', 
client_secret='client_secret',
redirect_uri='http://localhost/',
scope = scope)

if token:
    sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
    res = sp.current_user_saved_tracks()
    first_track_name = res['items'][0]['track']['name']
    print(first_track_name)
    
    
    print(sp.user_playlists(username))

So it prints the first track name of the user (which is called 'Diversion') but then prints this for the next print command which I don't think it should be...

@stephanebruckert commented on GitHub (Jan 12, 2020):

self.spotify.user_playlists("my-username"))

works for me. I get a list of playlists in return, not a user object. Closing this for now as it's 6 months old, but please feel free to re-open if this is still happening. Thanks
