Hello,

Just up front this may all be my ignorance of this api, but I'm currently not able to be login.

I'm calling

import sys
import spotipy
import spotipy.util as util

scope = 'user-library-read'

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    username = sys.argv[1]
else:
    print "Usage: %s username" % (sys.argv[0],)
    sys.exit()

token = util.prompt_for_user_token(username, scope, 
                        client_id='my_id_here', 
                        client_secret='my_secret_here',
                        redirect_uri='https:\\www.google.com')

if token:
    sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth=token)
    results = sp.current_user_saved_tracks()
    for item in results['items']:
        track = item['track']
        print track['name'] + ' - ' + track['artists'][0]['name']
else:
    print "Can't get token for", username

and the issue I am running into is that when I login my web browser opens and goes to Spotify's error page and when I enter that url I (obviously) run into this:

line 16, in <module>
    redirect_uri='https:\\www.google.com')
  File "/Users/duncanwilson/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spotipy/util.py", line 86, in prompt_for_user_token
    token_info = sp_oauth.get_access_token(code)
  File "/Users/duncanwilson/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spotipy/oauth2.py", line 210, in get_access_token
    raise SpotifyOauthError(response.reason)
spotipy.oauth2.SpotifyOauthError: Bad Request

I've learned that this error is caused by the user already being logged in; but as soon as I logout then the redirect breaks when I attempt to login....

Thanks in advance! :)

You might want to change your redirect_uri backslashes to actual forward slashes

https:\www.google.com to https://www.google.com

Yes check the redirect_uri is correct
