It looks like win32com thinks you have a IITPlaylist, and you really
have a subclass of that, a IITUserPlaylist.  You need to cast it like
this:

import win32com.client
iTunes = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('iTunes.Application')
playlists = iTunes.LibrarySource.Playlists
for playlist in playlists:
    if playlist.Kind == 2:
        playlist = win32com.client.CastTo(playlist, 'IITUserPlaylist')
        print "Name:  ", playlist.Name
        print "Kind:  ", playlist.Kind
        print "Smart: ", playlist.Smart
        print
