It appears that the Google Cloud Client Library for Python does not support the Channel API:

How does one use this service in a local development environment?

If you're using AppEngine that should help: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/channel/

The Channel API is an App Engine specific API. If you're not using App Engine, you don't need to use the Channel API as you generally can allow your browser application to communicate with your backend directly, for example using WebSockets.

If you are using App Engine but testing locally, the Channel API is emulated on the local development server using polling.
