contentquery.py

ContentQuery is an abstraction layer between the the pafy.call_gdata and the listViews.

It lets you treat A query as a list of all the results, even though data is only queried when requested.

ContentQuery

A wrapper for pafy.call_gdata. I lets you treat a search as a list, but the results will only be fetched when needed.
