Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/634

I am getting the following error, when I want to run the "master/examples/app.py" (unchanged code, just cloned it from Github):

ERROR in app: Exception on / [GET]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\flask\app.py", line 2447, in wsgi_app

cache_handler = spotipy.cache_handler.CacheFileHandler(cache_path=session_cache_path())
AttributeError: module 'spotipy' has no attribute 'cache_handler'

It seems that he is missing the cache_handler. Did I forget something obvious, that I have to execute, before I can use the "master/examples/app.py" code?
I am using Spotipy v2.16.1 and installed all required libs.

Thanks in advance for your help!
