Severe rate limiting when running the python example

[Cameron Warren]

Hello,

I am running the get_keyword_ideas.py example script using Python 3.6. The 
script runs fine except for one issue - I can't seem to get the script to 
complete. I'm getting the following error after running the script only a 
couple of times - even when running for just 1 page of results. 

googleads.errors.GoogleAdsServerFault: [RateExceededError 
<rateName=RATE_LIMIT, rateKey=null, rateScope=ACCOUNT, 
retryAfterSeconds=30>]


My understanding from the rate sheet 
(https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/ratesheet) 
is that I should be able to run 10,000 operations per day. I should be 
running only 1 get request (for 1 page as seen in my code below). 


Any assistance as to why this error is throwing would be greatly helpful. 


Code:
