tmdb3.py crash on download movie ID 116711 from tmdb

Not sure if this is an api issue but tmdb3.py crashes hard when retrieving details for the ID 116711 (epic). Seems the expected month format is not returned. See below:

One of the movies authors, ​http://www.themoviedb.org/person/10295-james-v-hart , has a date of birth on file that contains a year only

that was not possible before, see ​https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/50e2badb19c2955b3214e4bd

Are you running a recent version of MythTV? Both master and 0.26 were updated a month and a half ago to resolve this issue.

>>> Movie(116711).crew[3].dayofbirth
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tmdb3/tmdb_api.py:79: Warning: "1960" is not a supported date format. Please fix upstream data at http://www.themoviedb.org.
  return datetime.date(*[int(x) for x in datestr.split('-')])

I am running 0.27_alpha_186 (186 being the git number). I can rebuild the current 0.27_beta and try again. I provide more specific build information later.

This code in the out-of-tree version fires a ValueError?, which is caught by the error handling and returns an empty string.

​https://github.com/wagnerrp/pytmdb3/blob/master/tmdb3/tmdb_api.py#L79

The same exact code in-tree fires a TypeError?, which is not handled, and faults out the entire script.

​http://code.mythtv.org/cgit/mythtv/tree/mythtv/bindings/python/tmdb3/tmdb3/tmdb_api.py#n79

I can't claim to understand why there is a difference in behavior for the same code, but if nothing else, I can just have it hook on both errors.
