just curious on a mac terminal how can I check which version I have currently installed?

Also I want to stay on it, even though spotipy is moving to spotipy3 I'm happy with spotipy 2, I downloaded a bunch of old versions, how can I manually install the one I'm on if I get a new mac?

thank you.

Use pip show spotipy to determine which version is currently installed. Use pip install spotipy --upgrade to upgrade to the latest release. Use pip install spotipy==2.18.0 to install version 2.18.0. See here for more information.

appreciate the help, I'm on 2.16.0 and things are working fine so I don't intend to change it, I downloaded the zip, can I later do pip install spotipy==2.16.0, if I don't want to install 2.18.0 or version 3 later? where should the 2.16.0 directory be so it finds it?

You don't need to manually download any zip files. pip install spotipy==2.16.0 installs spotipy from the python package index directly into a directory where all your scripts can find it. pip show spotipy shows you where spotipy is installed.

oh I see, that will be perfect then, I thought I might have to point to directory, I downloaded a few old releases just in case but shouldn't be an issue if the python package index keeps old files, thanks for clarifying.
