Here is how to do it for humanize, others should be similar. At the end of the controller that invokes your template there is a function that looks like:

def main():
    run_wsgi_app(application)

Add the following two lines just after def main():

from google.appengine.ext.webapp import template
template.register_template_library(
             'django.contrib.humanize.templatetags.humanize')

No need to add {% load humanize %} in your template.

Thanks to this posting http://blog.yjl.im/2011/02/few-things-on-google-app-engine-i.html that hinted the solution for me.

It is possible to do this, but you'll need to provide more information before your particular situation can be addressed. It sounds like there might be an exception that is being thrown--is this the case? If there is one, what is being printed out to the console (or the log)?

I'm using app-engine-patch and have been able to use both django.contrib.humanize and django.contrib.markup, so you might see if this works for you.
