Hello, You can certainly run Django apps on AppScale, provided that your app works fine on App Engine. There's an out of date article (https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/django) that details what the transition process tends to look like, and it mostly boils down to how you store state in your application. If you only store state via a database, then it's usually straightforward enough to translate it to the App Engine Datastore (which in AppScale can be Cassandra, HBase, etc). We've seen users run into some problems in some areas, mainly when they don't put state in the database (e.g., on the filesystem). In those cases, you can transition your app to look for the data in the database instead of the local filesystem (and of course, store it in the database instead of the filesystem). This can still be problematic if your data is particularly large (too large for the Datastore) but you can always put it in the Blobstore to get around this. In App Engine, there are limits on the sizes of data you can store in the Datastore and Blobstore, but in AppScale, you can always turn those limits off.
As far as stability and reliability goes, we've improved a lot in the last few months, so I'd definitely recommend giving AppScale a try and let us know what you think of it! Feel free to e-mail me back or reach us on IRC (#appscale on freenode.net) if you have any questions or the like.
