I want to use API key for auth. #208

Google supplies the following code with the Python SDK:

API Keys
When calling APIs that do not access private user data, you can use simple API keys. These keys are used to authenticate your application for accounting purposes. The Google Developers Console documentation also describes API keys.

Note: If you do need to access private user data, you must use OAuth 2.0. See Using OAuth 2.0 for Installed Applications, Using OAuth 2.0 for Server to Server Applications, and Using OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications for more information.

Using API Keys
To use API keys, pass them to the build() function when creating service objects. For example:

books_service = build('books', 'v1', developerKey='api_key')
All calls made using that service object will include your API key.

I want to integrate that with PyDrive so I don't need to use OAuth. I don't want the user to authorize using their Google Drive account, I want to authorize and upload the file to my Google Drive account for bug reporting.

Any help with this integration would be greatly appreciated.
