The impression I have (as someone with access to google app engine) is that Python is merely the first language they've chosen to support (given that it's a language they use extensively internally).
However - there are many things in the way that symfony is built that may prove an initial obstacle. Particularly, everything would have to be backended onto the datastore, and Propel and Doctrine wouldn't be usable. Django is available on the appengine, but much of its features are cut out (all of those that depend on direct filesystem access and SQL databases - most notably, it's excellent admin system). It's to be noted that a large number of the features that are missing are missing *because* of the way they scale. And google own you no more than any other hosting provider do.
