What options exist for Python Cloud Hosting other than Google App Engine?
I'm looking for solutions that let me write and publish code to servers that will scale up automatically to meet demand. I don't want to spend my time on IT tasks.
So far, I've really only found this: https://www.picloud.com/
App Engine is great, but has some immaturity limitations such as lack of https support.

Both AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Google App Engine are optimized for dynamic web applications. These types of apps mix of static and dynamically generated content, control logic and back-end data stores. Every modern web site uses dynamic content created by embedded scripts and plugins.
The Python 3.10 runtime is capable of running any framework, library, or binary. Optimized to scale nearly instantaneously to handle huge traffic spikes.
In Google I/O 2011, Google announced App Engine Backends, which are allowed to run continuously, and consume more memory. The Backend API was deprecated as of March 13, 2014 in favor of the Modules API.
Google App Engine is a unique cloud platform and you won't find any other similar hosting. Except maybe hosting your own AppScale platform somewhere : http://code.google.com/p/appscale/ But I don't think it's ready yet.
The closest to GAE would likely be some sort of Heroku-clone for Python. I know of two upcoming services :
You could also try Media Temple Grid Service which has Django grid containers : http://mediatemple.net/webhosting/gs/features/containers.php#django
