the 7digital preview script doesn't work

[tangkk]

I tried to get a url of a 30s preview from 7digital.com using this script officially provided by the authors. I do have a 7digital API ID, the generated request is like:
http://api.7digital.com/1.2/track/preview?redirect=false&trackid=8707738&oauth_consumer_key=my_7digital_id

but the script keeps failing when trying to process this url. I did try several other tracks but also failed.

here's the console output of "python get_preview_url.py -7digitalkey my_7digital_id TRAXLZU12903D05F94.h5"

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for the fix!
