I'm just reading through the docs. *Cron support in the development server*
When using the Python SDK, the dev_appserver has an admin interface that allows you to view cron jobs at http://localhost:8000/cron. The development server doesn't automatically run your cron jobs. You can use your local desktop's cron or scheduled tasks interface to trigger the URLs of your jobs with curl <http://curl.haxx.se/> or a similar tool. Are you on the dev server ?
