# Basic Web Services Example

# import the client libraries

# YouTubeService() used to generate the object so that
# we can comunicate with the YouTube API
youtube_service = gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeService()

# prompt the user to enter the YouTube User ID
playlist = raw_input("Please enter the user ID: ")

# setup the actual API Call

# Retrieve YouTube playlist

# display each playlist to screen
for p in video_feed.entry:
