Feature Request - Remove Videos from YouTube Playlist after Download

I would like to add a option to remove a video from a YouTube playlist after it is downloaded.
I believe this is possible as the YouTube API has a python section for this.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/1.0/developers_guide_python#adding-a-playlist

I have managed to add the option to the options list as "--remove-watched", but can't seem to call the method it points at.
I admit I am new to python but have coded in several other languages before so if someone could point me in the right direction I will do my best to figure it out.

Thanks,

youtube-dl shall not use any kind of YouTube APIs. You should implement this in a way a web browser does.

I was just about to request this.

What are the chances of implementing this autoremoving feature (in youtube) ?

I need this feature as well. Has anyone already developed something like this?

Bumping an old issue. Has anyone been able to make progress on this? Not a Python dev or I'd take a stab at it myself.
