Is it because of python version?
Depends on the version of GAE you're running. Support for python 2.7 was added very recently and may still be beta (not sure on this). I've never used GAE SDK on Linux so I'm not sure how it works there. On OS X you start the GAE Launcher and add your application to the launcher via a gui then start it by clicking on a run button.
