I'm so used to using Sessions in PHP that it never occurred to me that you might have a web application framework that doesn't support them as a core feature. But GAE, for the time being, does not. Thus far, I've looked at two third-party libraries, neither of which meets all the bullet-points on my list.
=== appengine-utilities ===
The main developer points out that he developed this class as a means to an end. The session class code can be found [[http://code.google.com/p/appengine-utitlies/source/browse/trunk/utilities/session.py here]]. My only reservation with it is that, unlike PHP sessions, it does not compensate for users who do not accept cookies.
=== beaker ===
[[http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Beaker/0.9.4#sessions Beaker]] was designed for use with the pylons framework, which I haven't used and, given Google's support for Django, probably won't. I wasn't able to get it functioning with my local dev sites and am not sure if it can be integrated with Django. If you figure it out, let the [[http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/topics?gvc=2 Google Groups]] gang know.
