📄 Description

There is an i-donno-what issue when spotipy.uitl.prompt_for_user_token() tries to open the browser using the subprocess.call. #29 issue might be related to this.

This pull request intends to fix this by utilizing webbrowser.open instead. It also works around the unnecessary verbose output of webbrowser.open and programmatically redirects it to the /dev/null.

The code is tested on both OSX and Linux.
