Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/769

Describe the bug
I receive a TypeError when running the Spotify Credentials:

sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=client_id,
client_secret=client_secret))

Your code
import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials

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

Expected behavior
No error.

Output

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()

10 sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=client_id,
---> 11 client_secret=client_secret))

TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'allowed_methods'

Environment:

OS: Windows
Python version: 3.7
spotipy version: latest
your IDE: Google Colab

Additional context
It was working fine last week

I'm having this error too and it was working fine two days ago. Have you resolved this yet? It's really being a buzzkill.
