Plenty of combinations here.

3 years is a long time, and a lot of stuff probably changed.  I
personally like Django and Flask, other people may suggest Pyramid.

So go with Heroku.  GAE has many GAE-specific things, while on Heroku
everything is standard and you can go self-hosted easily (just get a
DB dump and a dump of your files).

> Is Django the answer?

Maybe.  It depends on the size of your app and if you like Django.
It’s subject to personal opinion.

> I think you can run Django on GAE (and obviously you can self-host it).

Yes, it works on GAE and Heroku just fine.

That’s, again, subject to personal opinion, and I, for one, haven’t used any.
