Sorry for not opening a proper issue with all the details but I saw this just before heading to bed :-/

This error originated from a custom integration.

Looks like they changed something in the HA 2024.10 release to spit out warnings like this. Technically these are not errors - they are just ways of coding logic that is not "conformant" to HA developer standards. It is also generating warnings for code comments!

Kind of odd, so I opened issue 127607 with HA Repository to see if someone left a test settings active for the PROD release.

Will keep you posted - thanks for the heads up.

@ovizii
Regarding the SyntaxWarning ... log messages ...

It appears something changed with Python 3.12.x recently that turned these “used to be ignored” syntax warnings into actual warnings that wind up in the HA System Log! This is due to invalid escaped characters in various string comments that are used for documentation purposes (e.g. “”" this is a code comment “”"). Completely my issue, HA is not at fault. Still wondering what changed though in HA 2024.10.0 to cause them to start appearing.

Anyway, I released a new version of the SpotifyPlus integration that should take care of the issue.

FYI - just released a new version of the SpotifyPlus integration

[ 1.0.60 ] - 2024/10/04

• Added service player_media_seek to seek to the given absolute or relative position in the user’s currently playing track for the specified Spotify Connect device.
• Updated service get_show_favorites to include the exclude_audiobooks argument, which allows you to limit the results to only podcast items (by default). For some reason, the Spotify Web API returns both audiobook and podcast items.
• Updated Spotify Connect device processing to only require the userid and password configuration options when authenticating to devices that require user and password values. Some devices only require a loginid value (e.g. spotifyd, Spotify Connect AddOn, librespot, Sonos, etc). The user should not have to specify userid and password options if they are not required!
• Updated service description strings to correct HASSFest validation errors on GitHub.
• Updated underlying spotifywebapiPython package requirement to version 1.0.106.
