It is, but with some pretty big caveats. You can't use Django's models on GAE, and a lot of what people think of as "Django" is built on top of Django models (admin, users, and sessions are the top three.) The app-engine-patch team has essentially forked Django and made it work on top of GAE models. However, there are some disadvantages, including a huge perf hit on cold requests. I tend to avoid AEP. I'm currently of the opinion that trying to get "all of Django" running on GAE is square-peg/round-hole. You still get a lot of mileage from the bits of Django you _can_ use on GAE, and it's modular enough that it is possible to build new GAE-specific session, etc. objects. I have several OSS repositories on GitHub that could serve as a decent Django + GAE template if you're interested.
