The tidy extension is bundled with PHP 5 and greater, and is installed using the --with-tidy configure option. So if phpinfo() does not mention tidy I guess there's no (easy) way to be able to use it.

App Engine includes the PHP 5.4 standard library. You can include other pure PHP libraries with your application by putting the code in your application directory. If you make a symbolic link to a module's directory in your application directory, appcfg.py will follow the link and include the module in your app. Maybe this approach would work with the (old) PECL tidy package, although I'm not really sure about that.

Thanks Nick, so I guess it's not easy to do it. – aserww106 Oct 14 '13 at 00:45
I checked phpinfo on a test instance yesterday and can confirm that the current App Engine PHP version 5.4.19 does not seem to include tidy. – Nick Weisser Oct 15 '13 at 07:11

Unfortunately you can't use tidy package at all in Google App Engine. You can see all enabled extensions from https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/php/runtime#enabled_extensions

Few extensions you can enable though but tidy is not one of them. I would recommend to find some alternatives of tidy. You can also take a look at An alternative to php tidy?
