It has never been the only option on Google App Engine (GAE). Bcrypt is exactly what I used in my GAE app back in 2009, though I have since moved on to scrypt. Bcrypt can be implemented in non-C languages, and there are libraries available for all the languages that are supported on GAE. If you're worried about Python performance, then you can have the bcrypt function in a separate module written in Java/Go.
