If you are using the Django via the app-engine-patch project, you need 
to use manage.py as your main debug file instead of dev_appserver.py and 
should follow the instructions for manual setup of a Django project in 
the Django How-To (except that the --noreload option is not supported). 
In particular, note the need to ignore the NameError exception at startup.

This is actually at the end of the app engine how-to your referenced 
above. I'll try to move up or clarify that.

Please let me know if that does not help.

Thanks,
