I would have to defer to others with more recent experience using Python on GAE. I wrote a very early GAE/Python app when GAE first launched, but then switched to Java when it became available, mostly for the reasons I cited in my earlier post. My early experience with Python was that it also had significant cold start times and could be a pig, especially with the Django framework. But like I said, that was over four years ago and I'm sure things have changed a lot since then.
