django-appengine server not starting

Question

I've been trying to use Django-appengine to write a small web app, but I am stuck on setting up the development server. I have followed the tutorial as best a human can, and I have modified the test app's app.yaml to include my app ID, but nothing more:

application: appidgoeshere
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

builtins:
- remote_api: on

inbound_services:
- warmup

handlers:
- url: /_ah/queue/deferred
  script: djangoappengine/deferred/handler.py
  login: admin

- url: /_ah/stats/.*
  script: djangoappengine/appstats/ui.py

- url: /media/admin
  static_dir: django/contrib/admin/media
  expiration: '0'

- url: /.*
  script: djangoappengine/main/main.py

When I run manage.py runserver, or manage.py remote shell, I get a traceback similar to this (in particular, this is from runserver):

google.appengine.ext.builtins.InvalidBuiltinName: remote_api is not the name of a valid builtin handler.
Available handlers are:

Thanks for taking the time to look at this, and if you have any advice or need more information please ask. I'm new to this entire technology stack, so I may have missed something.

It sounds like you're running an old version of the SDK. Have you tried updating the SDK?
