Question

Answer 1

You need to download and run the Google App Engine SDK for Python (the AppEngine SDK for Python on Mac OS X may be found at that link), and you need to run the installer program. It will install the dev_appserver binary in /usr/local/bin/. You shouldn't try running the bundled code; one of the reasons why it is necessary to run in the installer and have it install the code in /usr/local/bin/, is that the installer will also periodically update those files which it has installed; if you run them directly from within the bundle, then you risk running out-of-date versions of those files.
