I have just started using this API and it looks like there is no way to only request a specific range of songs in a playlist rather than all the songs from 0 to n*100 (rounded up limit/100 in get_playlist from my initial testing).
From what I understand the functionality in youtube's actual API should be there as the songs load in batches of 100s in large playlists, and I am assuming the previously loaded songs are not discarded in the process.

You can only load the playlist incrementally starting from the first entry, as in the web interface. Getting a subset of the loaded items is as simple as using Python array slicing syntax [:]
