I stumbled across https://apphosted.com as more web application package and format 'prior art'. It appears to be an App Engine competitor. According to their API documentation, their deployment format is an archive containing a single directory with your WSGI program and a metro.config. They put the database configuration in a settings.py written into the application's root with defined DB_URI, etc.
