Okay I figured this out. You have a Google Apps account and a Google Account with the same e-mail. The API by default authenticates you as your Google Apps account, and since Picasa Web Albums is not an Apps product, fails to find your PicasaWeb user information.
The trick is to do this: gd_client.account_type = 'GOOGLE' before calling gd_client.ProgrammaticLogin().
