I think this is likely your problem - this is just a limited example.
You can use "Convert ID3 Tags" in iTunes's Advanced menu to convert a
song to ID3v1.0 for testing, if you just want to play with the script.
You may lose tag data, so do this on a copy of the song.  If you want
to actually parse ID3 tags, then use a more flexible module; it looks
like there's one at <http://id3-py.sourceforge.net/>.

After converting tags on one of my songs to ID3v1.0, the script worked
for me (downloaded as part of the examples:
