python: get all youtube video urls of a channel

I want to get all video url's of a specific channel. I think json with python or java would be a good choice. I can get the newest video with the following code, but how can I get ALL video links (>500)?

import urllib, json
author = 'Youtube_Username'
inp = urllib.urlopen(r'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?max-results=1&alt=json&orderby=published&author=' + author)
resp = json.load(inp)
inp.close()
first = resp['feed']['entry'][0]
print first['title'] # video title
print first['link'][0]['href'] #url

After the youtube API change, max k.'s answer does not work. As a replacement, the function below provides a list of the youtube videos in a given channel. Please note that you need an API Key for it to work.

import urllib
import json

def get_all_video_in_channel(channel_id):
    api_key = YOUR API KEY

    base_video_url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v='
    base_search_url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?'

    first_url = base_search_url+'key={}&channelId={}&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults=25'.format(api_key, channel_id)

    video_links = []
    url = first_url
    while True:
        inp = urllib.urlopen(url)
        resp = json.load(inp)

        for i in resp['items']:
            if i['id']['kind'] == "youtube#video":
                video_links.append(base_video_url + i['id']['videoId'])

        try:
            next_page_token = resp['nextPageToken']
            url = first_url + '&pageToken={}'.format(next_page_token)
        except:
            break
    return video_links
