I use a Mac and I am not the only one on the list. All video tutorials on Vimeo are made with Mac. Including the one that explains how to deploy on GAE.
To use postgresql you must install it and must install psycopg2 (not psycopg). This is the most troublesome step but it is documented on many places for example here: http://blog.jonypawks.net/2008/06/20/installing-psycopg2-on-os-x/ The detailed instructructions depend on the postgres version. Make sure you have Python 2.5 installed (or GAE will not work) Make sure you run web2py from source, not python binary, or it will not see the postgresql driver.
