What are you thinking of using the App Engine piece for? You can definitely use it for accounts and chat via XMPP, but you won't be able to use App Engine to stream video. You'll have to go with a peer to peer solution, in which case it doesn't matter that App Engine can't run this library, since you won't have App Engine doing anything with the video streams. App Engine's role will be to match users.
