I am trying to develop my first GAE app with Python on Eclipse, from this tutorial I am sent here I do the instal. When I go into Eclipse, new -> project -> PyDev -> PyDev Google App Engine Program, I name it and then in the next window it asks for the Google App Engine Directory, so I choose 

/Applications/eclipse/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.7.1.

and it tells me "Invalid Google App Engine directory. Did not find: appcfg.py in 

/Applications/eclipse/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.7.1"

and When I dive into that directory, which should have what I need I see appengine-java-sdk-1.7.7.1 and no python.

In addition when I use the blue google circle in the toolbar to create an app it creates it with only java files.

In further addition I've seen in questions like this one people suggest looking for 

/Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/ GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/

only I apparently don't have that anywwhere on my computer, even though I do have the GAE launcher installed.

Long story short, how do I get the GAE python sdk for eclipse?

First of all, the google plugin is only for Java so it is useless for Python development... Yes I know it is sad, I was disapointed as well.

Then the second link you gave is wrong and I don't know where you got it but if you go on your first link, section 3. Google App Engine SDK Python, you will go here, which is the good link. For Linux, you end up with a zip file that you simply need to extract and you will find the appcfg.py file in it.

The fisrt link you gave is the one I followed and is very well explain. Keep looking.
