Uploading video to YouTube and adding it to playlist using YouTube Data API v3 in Python - python-2.7

Question

I wrote a script to upload a video to YouTube using YouTube Data API v3 in the python with help of example given in Example code.
And I wrote another script to add uploaded video to playlist using same YouTube Data API v3 you can be seen here
After that I wrote a single script to upload video and add that video to playlist. In that I took care of authentication and scops still I am getting permission error. here is my new script

I am not able to figure out what is wrong. I am getting permission error. both script works fine independently.
could anyone help me figure out where I am wrong or how to achieve uploading video and adding that too playlist.

Answer 1

I got the answer actually in both the independent script scope is different.
scope for uploading is "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload"
scope for adding to playlist is "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube"
as scope is different so I had to handle authentication separately.
