Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/455

I recently installed spotipy using:
python -m pip install spotipy --user
which installed without errors. I then setup my spotify client ID and secret, and when I try to run the example given under "create a Spotify object and call methods" I get the following error:
ImportError: No module named oauth2
Any help on why I am getting this error? I am assuming the oauth2 module should have been installed when I installed spotipy.

hmm oauth is part of spotipy so it shouldn't be missing.

If from your command line you run python alone, what do you get when you type the following?

>>> import spotipy
>>> spotipy.oauth2

Also please share the full stack traces (the one from the README example as well)

Hi Stéphane,

Thanks for getting back to me. I found the problem (my python script was named spotipy.py). When I renamed it everything worked.
Thanks again.
