📄 Description

This PR fixes #560 (and possibly #572)

One can now instantiate SpotifyOAuth or SpotifyPKCE with open_browser set to False, behaving the same as if you had called get_auth_response(open_browser=False). For backwards compatibility, this defaults to True.

Example:

import spotipy

from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth

oauth = SpotifyOAuth(scope="streaming", open_browser=False)

spotify = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=oauth)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    spotify.start_playback()
