There is a module written by Gary Strangman called "stats.py" - go to 
http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/Neural_Systems_Group/gary/python.html or 
try the "math" section of the vaults of parnassus. It has most of the 
stats stuff you need accessible from either lists or numpy arrays.

Just in case, I'm writing a stats package called Salstat 
(http://salstat.sunsite.dk) which does lots of this stuff but with a 
funky (well, okay-ish!) GUI. Try the screenshots section - it even 
appears to work under OSX! I've used this to test the stats module 
against results from SPSS, StatView and Minitab, and it appears to work 
quite well apart from the Freidman chi square which I am working on 
(although I may be calling it incorrectly).
