Picasaweb InsertAlbum Error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use web application client authentication
2. (picasaweb) gd_client.InsertAlbum
3. got exception

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The album should be create

What version of the product are you using?
svn version

Please provide any additional information below.
I suggest in trunk/src/gdata/photos/service.py line 358, change the code:

    try:
      return self.Post(album, uri=self.userUri % self.email,
      converter=gdata.photos.AlbumEntryFromString)
    except gdata.service.RequestError, e:
      raise GooglePhotosException(e.args[0])

to:

    try:
      return self.Post(album, uri=self.userUri % 'default',
      converter=gdata.photos.AlbumEntryFromString)
    except gdata.service.RequestError, e:
      raise GooglePhotosException(e.args[0])

because if we don't use username and password login, self.email will be None.

InsertAlbum will be always the action to my own account, change it to
'defalut' will work for both kind of authentication.

'default' would be incorrect in cases where an email address is specified. 
Instead I
propose:

...uri=self.userUri % (self.email or 'default'),...

This issue has a workaround initialize the service class with email attribute
pws = gdata.photos.service.PhotosService(email="the_user_email")
