It is not easy.. 1st you need to get your machine set to use the Google App engine SDK and development server... I put my experience with that here http://tombrander.wordpress.com... then you need to get your current version of the app running there... from other messages I see you have left it seems that you have problems at that point...so get those solved... If you don't have a useful development environment your going to have a long road.. I've found Eclipse with Pydev to be very helpful but it too has a learning curve.
I'm currently struggling with Google App engine patch and Django examples but the above steps are how I got that far. FWIW, Finding the files for modifying code within Django is not very easy and my guess id that if you are using the app-engine patch you probably got Django as well,, so looking at that doccumentation might help... Good luck, you may have bitten off too much ?? As I said I'm still struggling... but keeping at it as there seems to be some gold at the end of the rainbow!
