Hey Paul. Are you authenticating, or querying the API anonymously? Anonymous queries regularly get "rate limit exceeed" errors from AppEngine, since Twitter limit IP addresses to 100 queries per hour, and AppEngine urlfetch service only makes requests from a small set of addresses.
The solution is to create Twitter account(s) for your application, or if it is acting on behalf of specific Twitter users, add OAuth consumer support to your code and have the users authorize your application, so the queries are charged to their accounts instead. If you are getting ApplicationError exceptions, well that is something altogether different.
