You're technically correct in that GAE standard offers python 3, but it's not the same as their python 2 offering.
Python 2 is part of the first generation runtimes, python 3 is part of the second generation runtimes. They are not out of the box compatible, even if your python code works on 2 and 3. The first generation runtime included many APIs that are simply just not available in the second gen (you need to build them yourself). See link for more info.
