Is it possible?: Yes, using App Engine's Admin API or the Cloud Resource Manager APIs with although this functionality is currently in beta as of the time of writing this (08-24-2016). You can access them directly or through a client library.

Directly Via REST API:

  1. App Engine Admin API v1beta5:

    create POST /v1beta5/apps

    Creates an App Engine application for a Google Cloud Platform project. This requires a project that excludes an App Engine application...

    More: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/admin-api/reference/rest/v1beta5/apps/create

  2. Cloud Resource Manager API v1beta1:

    POST https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/v1beta1/projects/

    Creates a Project resource.

    and example request:

    {
 "name": "project name",
 "projectId": "project-id-1",
 "labels": {
  "environment": "dev"
 },
}

    More here: https://cloud.google.com/resource-manager/reference/rest/v1beta1/projects/create

Via a python client library:

  1. There's the Google Python Client Library 

    pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

    Then you'll have to build an authenticated service to the api. Every other thing you'll need for the request can be found in this doc

  2. gcloud-python:

    Ideally though, and my personal favorite, you'll want to use this client library to build such a script

    pip install --upgrade gcloud

    then you'll create the new project with:

    from gcloud import resource_manager
client = resource_manager.Client()

# re-doing above REST example
project = client.new_project('project-id-1', name='project name',
                             labels={'environment': 'dev'})
project.create()
