Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/443

I tried using the example from the README, with the code below:

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials
import json

config = json.load(open("config.json"))

cid = config['spotify_client']
secret = config['spotify_secret']

client_credentials_manager = SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=cid, client_secret=secret)
sp = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager=client_credentials_manager)

results = sp.search(q='weezer', limit=20)
print(results['tracks']['items'])
for idx, track in enumerate(results['tracks']['items']):
    print(idx, track['name'])

The only thing I'm doing different are how I give the client ID and client secret. When I try running this code, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "spotifyDataset.py", line 14, in <module>
    results = sp.search(q='weezer', limit=20)
  File "lib/python3.5/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 401, in search
    "search", q=q, limit=limit, offset=offset, type=type, market=market
  File "lib/python3.5/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 193, in _get
    return self._internal_call("GET", url, payload, kwargs)
  File "/lib/python3.5/site-packages/spotipy/client.py", line 150, in _internal_call
    method, url, headers=headers, proxies=self.proxies, **args
AttributeError: __exit__

Am I doing something incorrectly?

Works for me. Does the initial example without modification work for you in a separate file? Were you including this in another application? The issue looks related to multi-threading

Ok, so it ends up working if I do it in a separate file. I'm new to this multi-threading stuff, so I got lost easily. I appreciate it, Stephane!
