obeservation spotipy user_playlists.py example

[lfg6000]

First i want to say thanks for contributing to Spotipy, it is really awesome.

Observation

• I took this example for a spin: user_playlists.py (https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/blob/master/examples/user_playlists.py)
  but received an empty list so i added a scope param to the oAuth call and was able to get my playlists.
• admittedly all my playlists are private
• below i have the original example code and the modified example code with a scope param

Question

• so i am wondering if it would be helpful to have the user_playlists.py example include the scope param?

Hopefully i have not wasted your time with by asking a question that has a really obvious answer,

original example code - the returned playlists is empty

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth())
playlists = sp.current_user_playlists()
for playlist in playlists['items']:
    print(playlist['name'])

---

modified example code - the returned playlists is populated

import spotipy
from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyOAuth
scope = 'playlist-read-private '
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(scope=scope))
playlists = sp.current_user_playlists()
for playlist in playlists['items']:
    print(playlist['name'])

@lfg6000 nice catch, you are right according to https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/playlists/get-a-list-of-current-users-playlists/.

If you know how to, it would be highly appreciated if you could open a pull request to update the example accordingly 🙏
