Mako can be easily switched for another templating language that does 
not require native code. I believe genshi fits this, if not you can of 
course use the django templating language, this works fine.

SQLAlchemy is a non issue as the intention is that you use Google's ORM 
interface (looks like it's based on the Django ORM, and I'm sure I read 
somewhere the data ends up in a BigTable instance). Paste is replaced by 
google's dev_appserver.py and setup tools is almost replaced by appcfg.py.

As long as you are happy to buy in to Django/Google's api's there's no 
problem here. Using Pylons routing/controllers + Genshi/django templates 
+ Google's ORM shouldn't be a problem at all. You don't have all the 
choice in the world, but hey, the service is currently free, what do you 
expect?
