I've looked at all three recently and have to recommend sticking with the App Engine Helper. I haven't had to deviate from standard django at all except for working with models/the datastore, and your likely going to have to that issue with whatever GAE framework you use.<div>
<br></div><div>I just found this project which emulates the automatic admin interface on GAE called App Engine Autoadmin (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/appengine-admin/">http://code.google.com/p/appengine-admin/</a>). I will be evaluating this project in the near future. If it works as advertised, then you have pretty much everything you need to base a GAE application on Django.</div>

i put in a little appendix section of our Django book on how to run<br>
Django apps on App Engine, and it uses the helper. however, i wasn't<br>
it wasn't in time to discover a similar project which is more similar<br>
to Django than the helper, called the App Engine Patch:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/</a><br>
<br>
this project was newer, and you can find on their web page towards the<br>
bottom, some information that differentiates the 2 projects. however,<br>
i say "was" because the patch is no longer actively being worked on in<br>
favor of yet another project -- django-nonrel -- that has a more<br>
ambitious goal: running Django apps natively on App Engine:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://allbuttonspressed.com/" target="_blank">http://allbuttonspressed.com/</a><br>
<br>
here is a specific blogpost about pure Django on App Engine:<br>

<br>
the patch maintainers also recommend looking at Kay as an alternative.<br>
