You'd have to ask the AppEngine people. Someone from that team submitted the input_stream.py change. The problem is that both protocol buffers and AppEngine place themselves in the "google" package. Protocol Buffers has, from day one, declared the package as a "namespace package" using setuptools, which theoretically allows sharing of the package. For things to work, though, AppEngine has to cooperate by doing the same thing in their own code.
