YouTube API Inbox Request doesn't always work

Question

I',m trying to get Inbox Messages for authenticated Youtube's user's profile.This is my code

def GetInboxMessage(self):
  uri = 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/inbox?v=2&key=%s' %DEVELOPER_KEY
  print 'GET INBOX\n'
  feed = yt_service.GetYouTubeVideoFeed(uri)

  for entry in feed.entry:  
    try:    
        PrintVideoDetails(self,entry,'videomessage')
    except:
        pass

This works fine for my account. When i tried a friend's account , I get the following error:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gdata/youtube/service.py", line 183, in GetYouTubeVideoFeed
return self.Get(uri, converter=gdata.youtube.YouTubeVideoFeedFromString) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gdata/service.py", line 1108, in Get 'reason': server_response.reason, 'body': result_body}

gdata.service.RequestError: {'status': 500, 'body': "http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'>GDataServiceExceptionInternal Error", 'reason': 'Internal Server Error'}

and I don't know the way to handle it. Any ideas ??

This kind of error better analyzes network packet or send private message to youtube team.
