It looks as though the google_appengine zipfile doesn't intend to be
installed in such a way as to make its libraries easily usable under
setuptools.  The rod.recipe.appenge recipe creates the script for
running the development environment, and puts 'parts/google_appengine'
on sys.path. I think you could use the 'extra-paths' argument to the
'zc.recipe.eggs:scripts' recipe to add that same path to your custom
interpreter, like so:

  [python]
  recipe = zc.recipe.eggs:scripts
  interpreter = python
  eggs = unikeeper
  extra-paths = ${buildout:directory}/parts/google_appengine
