"""
This is an example of playing music from Spotify using pyspotify.

The example use the :class:`spotify.AlsaSink`, and will thus only work on
systems with an ALSA sound subsystem, which means most Linux systems.

You can either run this file directly without arguments to play a default
track::

    python play_track.py

Or, give the script a Spotify track URI to play::

    python play_track.py spotify:track:3iFjScPoAC21CT5cbAFZ7b
