Hey guys,
so I tried to get the current_playback() do see what is playing right now. That doesnt work. Neither does current_user_playing_track() nor currently_playing(). It always troughts me the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "spoti.py", line 27, in
track = spotifyObject.currently_playing()
AttributeError: 'Spotify' object has no attribute 'currently_playing'

Thats the important part of my code:

spotifyObject = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)

track = spotifyObject.currently_playing()
artist = track['item']['artist'][0]['name']
track = track['item']['name']

Moreover, there are other things that doesnt seem to be working for me:

spotifyObject.devices()
spotifyObject.start_playback

I got the device ID on the official Spotify developer page (https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-users-available-devices/), but its now hardcoded.

I hope someone can help me?!
Thanks

Most likely @ritiek is right. Please upgrade your version of spotipy and it should work:

pip install spotipy --upgrade
