I was also undecided on whether to go with Django on top of the GAE but ended up going for it using the AppEngine Patch and i'm glad i did.
Yesterday i needed to setup feeds and Django took care of everything in literally a couple of lines - it just keeps on giving. Also, the beauty of self-contained apps (so easy to do in Django) is something you won't be able to go without after having done a few. There are some types of sites where i wouldn't use Django but these are mostly specialized apps (more of web-based applications than content-driven sites). I highly recommend you look into both the AppEngine Django Helper and the AppEngine Patch (create some simple Django apps, go through the documentation for the AppEngine and Django side-by-side), above all it's important you get a feel for what's out there so you can make the best decisions, you'll learn alot about best practices - also see the video Waldemar linked to.
