When web2py does its detection in main.py, it can do:
runtime = os.environ.get('WEB2PY_RUNTIME']','DEFAULT')

Yeah, it would be handy to be able to be able to check for known
runtimes:
request.env.runtime.is_gae?

Google is setting SERVER_SOFTWARE in this case:
if os.environ.get('SERVER_SOFTWARE','').startswith('Devel'):
gaehandler.py code should only set WEB2PY_MODE if it was not
externally set by the developer
this way the developer can test production mode on localhost
export WEB2PY_MODE=PRODUCTION
dev_appserver.py .
