LinkedIn OAuth2 broken

repeatedly get

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~:(email-address,first-name,id,last-name)?format=json&oauth2_access_token=<snip>

problem is here:

https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-core/blob/master/social_core/backends/linkedin.py#L88

it should be

        return self.get_json(
            self.user_details_url(),
            params={
              'format': 'json',
              'oauth2_access_token': access_token
            }
        )

Can we update the pip package, so we don’t have to use unofficial installs?

any movement on this? this is a pretty big deal isn’t it?
