What about the followings? 
MMTK = http://starship.python.net/crew/hinsen/MMTK/
PyMol = http://pymol.sourceforge.net/ (Just model visualization, I'm afraid)
Chimera = http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/

Other projects you should be aware of:
SciPy = http://www.scipy.org/
BioPython = http://biopython.org/scriptcentral/

Other Python/Science resources and articles:

And, of course, have a look at these Python software repositories:
http://www.python.org/pypi

And at these generic software repositories:
http://freshmeat.net/
http://sourceforge.net/
(search or browse for scientific/chemistry)
