The Windows and Mac OSX Python SDKs include an additional development tool called the App Engine Launcher. This tool provides a simple graphical interface to create projects, run them locally, and deploy them to Google's App Engine servers. It can be used in place of the dev_appserver and appcfg command-line tools.
The Windows SDK can optionally install a desktop short-cut during installation. If you are missing the short-cut, you can find the launcher in the launcher subdirectory of your App Engine installation. The default location is C:Program FilesGooglegoogle_appenginelauncherGoogleAppEngineLauncher.exe
In Mac OSX, the Launcher is installed by dragging it out of the .dmg to a location specified by the user. The Launcher contains the SDK inside of it. A typical drag-install destination for the Launcher and SDK is /Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app
