Remove time.sleep from _call method #3

Hi,

It's really not the best way of error processing. Could you return exception in case when rate limit reached?

AnthonyBloomer commented 7 years ago

By default, the program throws an exception if the rate limit has reached. If you pass wait_on_rate_limit = True in the constructor then the program will sleep until it can request data again.

wait_on_rate_limit is an optional argument in the constructor so you can just leave it out. For example:

zoopla = Zoopla(api_key='your_api_key', debug=True)
