I've double-checked with both App Engine and Wave teams and confirmed that It's not possible to authenticate the user to the embed API just through your application - they will need to sign in to Google services separately.
The authentication for your app is only for your app, and we can't re-use that authentication for the embedded wave. If your application doesn't require real-time editing in the waves, then you could write a simple static renderer of the waves in Django. I'm guessing that it does, however, which means your users will need to login separately.
