A third-party Python Client for Spotify (and tips on how to make your own...)
The integration of Spotify, the great daddy of audio streamers with third-party apps has been difficult over the years. Years ago, in their beginning they liberated libspotify, coded in for integration with different clients. Integration with major audio players like Foobar, Clementine and MusicBee were working, but in 2015 the company decided to drop the new development on the library and decided to shut down the integration last June. The new feature called Spotify Connect that allows multiple device to act as remote controller for the device that its playing in real time made new possibilities. But the wheel was inventend with LibReSpot, a library written in Rust. More libraries ported from the original in Rust appeared later in Go and Java. This last one is special, since it allows to be controlled by HTTP requests and interacts with a potential client through WebSockets. So a good player is possible to be built through a GUI library, and so I picked the most user friendly GUI framework, PySimpleGUI, that wraps multiple and more complex GUI frameworks like Tkinter and PyQT providing easyness of development.

Spotify have finally killed 3rd party streaming apps
Others have been suggesting Libspotify still works for legacy embedded device reasons... https://github.com/mopidy/libspotify-archive seems to have Android and iOS builds.
- Spotify has shut down libspotify
- Which Spotify library to use for headless Linux audio player box?

Spotify has shut down libspotify
Cool to see someone who worked on this :) Back in the day I wrote a (probably really bad, not a C/C++ developer) wrapper around libspotify for Node.js: https://github.com/FrontierPsychiatrist/node-spotify
At some point it could do enough for me to build a webapp with Node.js running on a Rapsberry Pi to stream Spotify.
I even got contacted by Spotify to take down the domain node-spotify.com for it.
What are some alternatives?
librespot - Open Source Spotify client library
mopidy-spotify - Mopidy extension for playing music from Spotify
raspotify - A Spotify Connect client that mostly Just Works™
spot - Native Spotify client for the GNOME desktop
librespot-java - The most up-to-date open source Spotify client
oauthclientbridge - Bridge OAuth2 Authorization Code Grants to Clients Grants.
spotipy - A light weight Python library for the Spotify Web API
psst - Fast and multi-platform Spotify client with native GUI
spotifyd - A spotify daemon
shpotify - A command-line interface to Spotify.
