You are installing the wrong package. This project is released under the name spotify in pypi so you have to do pip install spotify not spotify.py, I understand the confusion.

I had the same problem using the correct (I think) pip command

$ pip3 install spotify
Collecting spotify

I'm running on Python 3.5.3, which may be the problem?

@HarmvandenBrand Your pip is preferring the broken package release, please refer to this stack overflow answer to force pip to install the latest pypi package.

I'm closing this since it's gone stale.
