Python
App Engine kind of rocks if you use the Python version. The JVM version, which is what you're stuck with if you want to use Ruby, isn't even good enough to suck. It isn't even "beta" or "testing". It's a complete joke. It takes 13-20 seconds to warm up, and it cools down after a few minutes of not being used. That renders it completely useless

A) You do seem stressed out lately. Getting confused and frustrated over design choices of "free" web services in order to save yourself a few dollars a week isn't like you. Take care of yourself.
B) explicit self is a symptom of one of my favorite things about Python, which is identifiers are always explicitly defined in the file where they are used. For any identifier, I can always use the text editor's plain "find string in file" function and find it in an import statement, an assignment statement, class or def statement, or the function signature. I could understand if self were an exception to this, but I don't mind that it's not.
Having all function arguments be explicit also lets you do this, although I'll leave it to you to debate the merits of that.
3) I'm not sure I understood you correctly, but if you really are just hosting static content (perhaps generating it with something like Jekyll), price it out with NearlyFreeSpeech. Be sure to check the "only static content" option and set mysql processes to 0. I host keturn.net with them, and the biggest expense is the penny-per-day for DNS whois cloaking.
