Actually you can download a sample app with App-Engine Patch and be up and going very quickly, using non-ported apps is more problematic... But also moving forward at a fair pace. Google's lack of support for certain key features in the datastore are a real issue like lack of full text search... (amazing for a search based company!) The sample app now supports and has examples for jquery and static libraries.
But if you need to depend on the full Django framework and apps being available,, that is a problem at this time.
