I got this error every time I type a number in order to play a song. Example:

What artist / song are you searching for?
> sinatra
#   | Artist                    | Song                           | Album

Last five search results:

Playing: Frank Sinatra - Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let

I am running cly.py on virtualenv, python 2.7.8 and Mac OS X Yosemite. The song I selected didn't play

Seems to be some actionscript error.

I need someone using OS X to look at the problem.

After this update, I got a new error:

22:32: syntax error: A identifier can’t go after this identifier. (-2740)

[bjarneo]

Same approach?

[niceperl]

Yes, but now the error message is different

It works flawlessly for me, both with Python2 and Python3. What OS X version are you using? EDIT: Now I see, Yosemite. Really strange.

What happens if you type this in the Python REPL:

import subprocess
subprocess.call([
    'osascript',
    '-e',
    'tell app "Spotify" to play track "spotify:track:5amPczcUvAgcWR3iHQj2hu"'
])

?

OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

@niceperl See my updated question. Could you try executing that snippet?

[niceperl]

Sorry, it was my fault. I didn't have installed the spotify app. Perhaps this silly problem could help in the last term to improve the error messages... Thanks!

[bjarneo]

@niceperl No worries. Perhaps we should do a 'is spotify installed' check. Have fun!
