Cloud storage client libraries not working. No module appengine.api

I'm trying to set up the cloud storage client libraries so I can store images for my gae app using python. I'm following the instructions here:

https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/reference/libraries

Unfortunately when I import the storage module:

from google.cloud import storage

something goes wrong saying:

ImportError: No module named appengine.api

Is there a way i can check if I have appengine.api installed at all (which I believe i do. It should have been included in the app engine sdk i installed)? If it's not installed how can I install it?

The GCS library is not included the GAE SDK, it has to be vendored in as a 3rd party lib.

See also Downloading the client library in the GAE Setting Up Google Cloud Storage doc.
