Google App Engine Service Accounts that work in local development: A guide for the lost and weary

It is easy to get service accounts working with App Engine's app_devserver.py - once you know how.

In order to follow the instructions, you'll be better off using the latest UI for Google Cloud projects. Older interfaces (such as the dedicated App Engine dashboard) have things in different places, under different names, etc. It is a world of pain there.

Also note that I've tested this on several 1.9.x releases of App Engine; I can't confirm the behaviour of earlier releases.
