Sorry, no, that's not what we meant when we announced Python 2.7 support.
We meant that we now support both the Python 2.5 and Python 2.7 runtimes.
The default remains 2.5; in order to use the 2.7 support you must put
"runtime: python27" in your app.yaml file; and you still have to arrange to
run the dev_appserver using Python 2.7, e.g. by using "python2.7
<path-to-sdk>/dev_appserver.py".

Separately, it sounds like you installed Python 2.7 in such a way that it
is not found as "python" on the default path.
