Is this for AppEngine standard or for Cloud Functions? I don't see any mention of python 3 on the appengine page: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/

Oh, I think you're right.

> Today we are announcing support for new second-generation App Engine standard runtimes such as Python 3.7

I'm still a bit confused what AppEngine 2nd gen is.

2nd gen is the new standard runtimes using gVisor. I had read comments by googlers here before that the first gen standard runtimes required a lot of custom work on their end to run on the Google infrastructure which was why they were a bit slow supporting new versions of php, java etc, while the new gvisor based runtimes should be easier to roll out updates.
