Hi!

You can set the client_customer_id for the Python library in the googleads.yaml file, which should go in your home directory. You'll notice this is included by default, but is commented out. Just un-comment it out and add your value and you should be good to go.

You can't set the Client Customer ID in the report request directly; it needs to be part of the SOAP headers which are defined differently. You can see an example of how to do this without the .yaml file in the create_adwords_client_without_yaml.py file.
