The Enthought Python Distribution (http://www.enthought.com/products/epd.php) bundles a 
number of the common packages used in scientific computing, and is the closest thing I'm 
aware of to a reference for an 'engineering' installation.  This distribution was 
announced at PyCon 2008.

Another good reference for scientific libraries is the Python Wiki Page at:
