Found the issue.  Added the error code 400 to the least of retries and got a 
bit more info back:
A retriable HTTP error 400 occurred:
{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "youtube.video",
    "reason": "invalidCategoryId",
    "message": "Bad Request",
    "locationType": "other",
    "location": "body.snippet.categoryId"
   }
  ],
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Bad Request"
 }
}

So as it turns it I was trying to use a category="Film" as is described 
somewhere in the youtube v2 api python docs.  This version expects an integer 
submitted as a string.

Here's an example of how an upload worked for me:
sudo python ~/pathTo/upload_video.py --file="someVideo.mp4" --title="Test 
Upload" --description="This is a test" --keywords="test" --category="3" 
--privacyStatus="private"


And here's the category codes as I couldn't find a list anywhere: 

Film & Animation    1
Autos & Vehicles    2
Howto & Style   3
People & Blogs  4
Entertainment   5
