api_client.py imports non-existent field from api

In version 0.30, this error is thrown when trying to flush metrics from a threadstats recorder:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/worker/python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/datadog/threadstats/base.py", line 312, in flush

ImportError: cannot import name '_return_raw_response' from 'datadog.api' (/worker/python/lib/python3.7/site-packages/datadog/api/__init__.py)

It looks as though every field referenced in this import can be found in the api module except for _return_raw_response.

Hi @rodneykinney, thanks for reporting this issue.

Looks like this attribute was supposed to be set by the initialize function:

datadogpy/datadog/__init__.py

Line 109 in a944ac6

api._return_raw_response = return_raw_response

. Are you calling initialize ?

I'd suggest doing that or manually setting the attribute to workaround the issue while we work on making it available by default in the api module

Thanks for the response. It looks like failing to initialize was the problem.
