 I'm not really speaking for the value of it, but if its possible, how to do
it, etc.

Specifically however, i was running into issues not using virtualenv because
easy_install had polluted my standard python site-packages. So in that case,
i was trying to use a module/library in my GAE app, where an older version
was downloaded already into the site-packages of my python install, and
causing very weird things to happen. In this case, virtualenv would have
prevented the issue.

But as i mentioned, i'm not debating its usefulness in an AppEngine
application. I am simply wondering if its possible, and how its possible.

So .. i assume you have not done it, but have you tried? Did you run into
issues/etc? Would you mind commenting on the actual problem/question of this
thread?
