[Django]-Using the Python GData API, cannot get editable video entry

I’ve just deleted youtube video using gdata and ProgrammaticLogin()

Here is some steps to reproduce:

import gdata.youtube.service
yt_service = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeService()

yt_service.developer_key = 'developer_key'
yt_service.email = 'email'
yt_service.password = 'password'
yt_service.ProgrammaticLogin()


# video_id should looks like 'iu6Gq-tUsTc'
uri = 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/%s/uploads/%s' % (username, video_id)  
entry = yt_service.GetYouTubeUserEntry(uri=uri)
response = yt_service.DeleteVideoEntry(entry)
print response  # True

yt_service.GetYouTubeVideoFeed(uri) works because GetYouTubeVideoFeed doesn’t check uri and just calls self.Get(uri, ...) but originaly, I think, it expected 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos' uri.

vice versa yt_service.GetYouTubeVideoEntry() use YOUTUBE_VIDEO_URI = 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos' but this entry doesn’t contains rel="edit"

Hope that helps you out

You can view the HTTP headers of the generated requests by setting the debug flag to true. This is as simple as:

 yt_service = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeService()
 yt_service.debug = True

You can read about this in the documentation here.
