Google AppEngine start

- Works with 2.5 or 2.7 python versions.
- Sometimes python path is not saved, just execute command to set a python path:

defaults write com.google.GoogleAppEngineLauncher Python "YOUR_PATH"

- Application name should be conformed with regex   '^(?:[a-z\d\-]{1,100}\~)?(?:(?!\-)[a-z\d\-\.]{1,100}:)?(?!-)[a-z\d\-]{1,100}$'

This is an example error for a project with capital letters in the name:
