Discogs plugin is crashing album importing

Problem

If I disable it, importing works (but music brain doesn't have several of my albuns). I've trying deleting the config json and reinstalling the plugin, via pip.

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ beet -vv import FOLDER

Led to this problem:
