>From the NoseGAE readme: 

Due to changes in the sandboxing mechanisms in dev_appserver2, it isn't 
possible for NoseGAE to simulate the deployed environment any longer. The 
sandboxing feature had to be removed since there is no longer any way to 
toggle it between noses own internal workings.

This means that certain tests may pass locally but the code in question 
will fail in production due to restricted modules and functions. As of now 
there is no workaround but pull requests are welcome!

That sounds like a pretty big deal? Doesn't the limitation defeat the 
purpose of testing? What exactly are the restricted modules and functions 
mentioned?

I posted here instead of opening an issue on Github to start a discussion 
on whether we should be concerned (we've been using NoseGAE from the 
start), and what alternatives can we use if it is cause for concern.
