No I dont think this will work on AppEngine. Firstly if your scripts regually take so long, AppEngine wont scale your application - it likes handlers to respond in less than 800ms or so.
But also can't really 'stream' - in general, it works on the CGI model. Your application receives the whole request as one whole block, and the client receives your output. Ie there is a proxy in front of the application that only forwards the whole request/resonce on - it doesn't allow for live streaming. - sounds like best would be to look at cheap VM hosting. eg http://code.google.com/p/nano-cast/ makes it sound like it doesnt need much horsepower - maybe a free micro-instance on amazon EC2 would do it.
