I need my app to run very slightly differently depending on whether it is running on the GAE launcher on my laptop or really inside GAE. The app-id is the same, the app.yaml is the same, is there something different I can see?

Have a read of this documentation on handling requests https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/requests#Python_The_environment specifically the section on the environment.

You will see a number of potentially relevant environment variables. The one you want is SERVER_SOFTWARE . It will contain "Development" in the value.

Also this has been answered before on SO. In Python, how can I test if I'm in Google App Engine SDK?
