Hi Kent, Looking at the Python 2.7 documentation you might have gotten the impression that it was rushed. That is because it was rushed and not documenting the lack of dev appserver support was one of several omissions.
As of yesterday, every Python 2.7 documentation page and the release notes contain a large warning saying that the dev appserver is not supported (as well as several other fixes). Going forward I'm not sure how to balance documentation and code completeness with making experimental functionality available as soon as possible for people to test it out. Maybe we can do something to lower people's expectations for experimental releases? Anyway, thanks for your feedback and sorry for wasting your time.
