python - Django 1.7 on App Engine "ImportError: No module named msvcrt"

Question

I'm trying to upgrade Django to version 1.7 on a Google App Engine development server running on my Windows machine.

When trying to load the app, I get the following exception from doangocorefileslocks.py:

ImportError: No module named msvcrt

The relevant code lines are:

if os.name == 'nt':
    import msvcrt

I guess the exception is raised because App Engine's dev server doesn't supply a version of msvcrt, but because my dev machine is Windows, os.name is still 'nt'.

Is there a solution or a workaround for this?

Relevant stacktrace:

 File "...djangocorefileslocks.py", line 30, in <module>
    import msvcrt
 File "D:Program Files (x86)Googlegoogle_appenginegoogleappengineoolsdevappserver2pythonsandbox.py", line 852, in load_module
    raise ImportError('No module named %s' % fullname)
